- 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).
