Bleeding Esophageal Varices

The noncirrhotic portal hypertension is an uncommon cause of bleeding esophagealvarices. This condition must be suspected in patients with preserved liver function. We reporta 25-year old man with SLE disease who presented with hematemesis. He had no historyor risk factors for an underlying liver condition. A huge splenomegaly was detectedby physical examination. The EGD found three large varices with red wale sign, whereas liverfunction tests were unremarkable. The noncirrhotic portal hypertension was diagnosedand confirmed by liver histopathology. Figure 1 แสดงผลการส่องกล้องทางเดินอาหารส่วนบนพบ F3 varices with red wale sign
