Abstract

CHACALTANA MENDOZA, Alfonso  and  ESPINOZA GARCIA, Julio. Portal hypertensive duodenopathy: case report of a little known complication. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2009, vol.29, n.3, pp.281-284. ISSN 1022-5129.

Between complications caused by portal hypertension in gastrointestinal tract, duodenal affectation has also been reported less frequently that esophagogastric varices or the portal gastropathy. However, only a few reports have investigated the duodenal lesions in patients with portal hypertension in detail. We describe a patient with cirrhotic hypertension portal and endoscopic findings in duodenum consistent with portal hypertensive duodenopathy.

Keywords : portal duodenopathy; portal hypertension.
