“…In our study, para esophageal varices were found in 18 patients (36%); 13 of them (72.2%) had high-risk EVs, while five patients had low-risk E.V.s (27.8%), which reflects the importance of detection of para esophageal varices. This result agrees with Moftah et al, 14 study, which found that para esophageal varices were detected in 18.5% of patients.…”

“…in our study, 11 (22%) were diagnosed to have HCC, four of them were previously diagnosed, and seven cases were first discovered. While in the Moftah et al,14 study, HCC was in 33 (61%) of patients.There was no statistically significant relation (pvalue > 0.05) between EDG results in patients without EVs compared with those with varices and other studied personal data (age, sex, and CHILD score).…”

“…This would be attributed to the fact that Egyptian males are responsible for farming work which may expose them to bilharizial infection and liver disease. These findings agreed with (23) in their study about "CT esophagography: Non invasive screening and grading of esophageal varices in cirrhosis" who found that three quarter of the subjects were male and their mean age was 56.84 ± 7.52 years. As well as (4) and (24) who found that bleeding esophageal varices were widespread in males and a mean age more than fifty years.…”

Background: Esophageal varices is one of the most common complications of liver cirrhosis, which lead to hematemesis with high morbidity and mortality rates. Tthis study aimed to assess the role of triphasic computed tomography (CT) scan in detection and grading of esophageal varices (EV) and gastric varices (GV) compared to endoscopy. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 35 patients (26 male & 9 female) who had cirrhosis. All patients were referred to perform triphasic abdominal CT scan then upper gastro-intestinal (UGI) endoscopy. Results: We have noticed that there is only 1 patient had oesophageal varices confirmed by UGI endoscopy not seen in CT. while there were 15 patients confirmed by endoscopy and CT. There is only 1 patient had gastric varix confirmed by UGI endoscopy not seen in CT. while there were 8 patients confirmed by endoscopy and CT. CT has 88.9 sensitivity comparing to endoscopy and 100 specificity with 97.14 accuracy with highly significant p value (p<0.05).CT detected 8 positive cases of gastric varices and one negative case while EGD detected 9 positive cases. So CT has 88.9 sensitivity comparing to endoscopy and 100 specificity with 97.14 accuracy with highly significant p value (p<0.05). Conclusion: CT scan could be used as independent method for diagnosis of gastric and esophageal varices.
