Prevalence, nature, and predictors of colonic changes in children with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction

Medical literature on colonic changes in children with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction (EHPVO) is limited. We evaluated EHPVO children for prevalence, nature, and relation of colonic changes with disease duration, extent of splenoportal axis (SPA) thrombosis, portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG), and esophageal varices (EVs). The correlation between histological and endoscopic changes was studied.
