Sclerotherapy of oesophageal varices may induce chronic constrictive pericarditis in children
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 October 2022
Abstract
Constrictive pericarditis is rare in children and can be difficult to diagnose. It has been described in adults after sclerotherapy of oesophageal varices but not in children. We report two cases of chronic constrictive pericarditis after sclerotherapy of oesophageal varices in children with portal cavernoma. Constrictive pericarditis should be considered as a cause of refractory ascites.
