Abstract
The treatment of esophageal varicesusually requires invasive procedures for the administration of sclerotherapy and ligation. Among the main related complications are pleuropulmonary location, esophageal fistula toward the pleura, and the development of pleural infection (empyema). In rarecases, the condition is caused by esophageal perforation.10,12We present here a report on a patient with left esophagopleural fistula and empyema as complications of sclerotherapy and the ligation of esophageal varices.
