Beschreibungen/Notizen
An 11-month-old girl suffering from hematemesis was referred
to our hospital. She had a past history of recurrent bleeding that
occurred four times, which was accompanied by melena during
hospitalization. The patient’s history was unremarkable for trauma,
surgical intervention, or liver disease. Physical examination revealed
normal findings. There were no ascites, dilated abdominal wall veins,
spider nevi, organomegaly, peripheral edema, and finger clubbing
that are suggestive of chronic liver disease. Coagulation tests and
platelet levels were normal. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopic
examination revealed grade 3 esophageal and fundal varices (Figure
1a, 1b).
