    Abstract:
    Less than 5% of patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) with portal hypertension (PH) develop atypical shunt (in regions other than the esophagus or the stomach). Within this group are varices associated with a stoma, for example the ones associated with an uretero-ileostomy which are infrequent. They are a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, as they can cause hemorrhages due to PH. We present a clinical case about stoma varicose bleeding as the latest guidelines for the management of PH do not mention them or their treatment due to their low incidence.
