RESUMO
Retrospective study of 49 cases of esophagogastric varices, including 5 isolated gastric varices and prospective study of 72 cases of oesophagogastric varices including 5 isolated gastric varices. Analysis of the result shows an incidence of 6.64% with higher incidence among cases of oesophageal varices, grade III and IV 25/34 and 52/67 with a range of 73.5% to 77.61%. Although endoscopic diagnosis can be sufficient to manage the case, yet splenoportography is a valid procedure and be of value in suspected splenic vein thrombosis or undetected site of bleeding. A plan of treatment and choice between sclerotherapy and surgery is put with a demand for the necessity of control trial. Both sclerotherapy and devascularization procedure are recommended for treatment while Warren procedure is not favourable
