Portal Hypertensive Vesiculopathy: A Rare Cause of Hematuria and a Unique Management Strategy

Abstract

Portosystemic collaterals are common sequelae of portal hypertension. These often present as gastroesophageal varices. Ectopic varices can rarely be seen in duodenum, jejunum, rectum, and sites of surgical anastomoses. Bladder varices are extremely rare presenting with recurrent hematuria, with only a few reported cases. We report here a management of an unusual case of hematuria managed with blood transfusion, intravenous terlipressin, and endoscopic N-butyl cyanoacrylate glue injection.
