Massive gastrointestinal bleeding from splenojejunal varices in a child: A complication of splenic-vein occlusion following near-total pancreatectomy for hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia

Abstract

Severe jejunal variceal bleeding occurred in a child with splenic-vein occlusion following a near-total pancreatectomy for hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. This rare sequela of splenic-vein occlusion required dismantling of the varices and splenectomy.
