    Author: Wu CS, Chen CM, Chang KY.
    Journal: J Gastroenterol Hepatol; 1995; 10(4):481-3. PubMed ID: 8527718.
    Abstract:
    Bleeding from duodenal varices is a rare finding in patients with liver cirrhosis. We report a 43 year old male with alcoholic liver cirrhosis who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Panendoscopy identified, prominent tortuous varices over the second portion of duodenum with spurting of blood. At first, the varices were treated successfully with sodium tetradecyl sulfate and bleeding stopped. Consequent endoscopic sclerotherapy was done 1 week later. The varices almost disappeared 2 weeks after the second endoscopic sclerotherapy and the patient was in good condition following this.
