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.

Other Imaging Findings

Fluoroscopic-guided esophagography

Mucosal relief views

Mucosal relief views may exhibit the following findings:

  • Tortuous, serpiginous, longitudinal radiolucent filling defects in collapsed or partially collapsed esophagus

Double-contrast study

Double-contrast study may show the following findings:

  • Multiple radiolucent filling defects etched in white
