Esophageal variceal bleed in children is treated with endoscopic sclerotherapy (EST), which is associated with significant complications. Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) was found to be more effective and safe in adults. Use of EVL in children has not been studied much. Thirteen consecutive children (mean age 9.4 years) with variceal bleed were subjected to EVL by multi band ligator. Varices were eradicated in 2.8 sessions (range 2-4) and one patient had bleed during procedure. No other complications were noted. EVL could not be performed in 2 children less than 3 years of age.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of extraintestinal manifestations in patients with idiopathic ulcerative colitis. METHODS: 46 patients underwent detailed clinical, biochemical and radiological evaluation. RESULTS: One patient (2%) had peripheral arthritis and two patients (4%) had ocular involvement in the form of anterior uveitis. No patient had mucocutaneous, vascular, or hepatobiliary manifestations, or sacroiliitis. CONCLUSIONS: The frequency of extraintestinal manifestations in patients with IUC in northwestern India is low.
