SUMMARYPortal hypertension and the development of varices in areas of portosystemic venous anastomoses can lead to dramatic and life‐threatening haemorrhage. Varices most commonly occur in the gastro‐oesophageal region but ectopic varices can arise at other sites in the gastrointestinal tract. This report describes a patient with massive haemorrhage from duodenal varices. We believe the case highlights the importance of considering ectopic varices as a cause of gastro‐intestinal haemorrhage especially when oesophageal varices are absent.

“…This was the case in all 6 patients described by Moncure et al in 1976. Varices of the ovarian vein were reported in several cases of portal hypertension and a history of pelvic operation, having developed via portal‐systemic communications in adhesions in the adnexal region (Borjesson et al , 1974, Gray and Grollman, 1974).…”

“…In most patients the varices arising in the small or large intestines are due to enlargement of anatomically normal connections, but as described first by Bloor and Orr in 1961 and later substantiated (Borjesson et al , 1974, Gray and Grollman, 1974) the portal‐systemic communications may arise in post‐operative adhesions. This was the case in all 6 patients described by Moncure et al in 1976.…”

The presence of mesenteric varices was demonstrated angiographically in 7 patients with portal hypertension. In 4 of these cases the mesenteric varices were the source of lower gastrointestinal bleeding which was successfully controlled by intra-arterial infusion of vasopressin. The radiological diagnosis and management of mesenteric varices is discussed and the pertinent literature is briefly reviewed.
