Esophageal and gastric vasculature in children with extrahepatic portal hypertension: evaluation by intravenous CT portography

Purpose: To compare the findings related to esophageal/gastric varices and congestive gastropathy on intravenous computed tomography (CT) portography (CTP) and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGIE) in children with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction (EHO) presented with hematemesis. Method/mat...
