Overview
Upper endoscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of gasteroesophageal varices. Findings on an upper endoscopy diagnostic of esophageal varices include visible submucosal tortuous veins, congested veins without compression during air insufflation, and grape-like varicose veins that may occlude the lumen. Three dimensional portal venography may be helpful in the diagnosis of gasteroesophageal varices. Findings on a portal venography diagnostic of esophageal varices include reverse flow in porto-systemic shunts, collateral veins draining into inferior vena cava (IVC), and other collateral veins.
