Massive bleeding in pregnancy from ruptured oesophageal varices complicating portal hypertension: a cautionary tale.

Alison Crocker1, Joanna Girling1, Christina Cotzias1.   

Abstract

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a rare complication of pancreatitis and can cause portal hypertension and oesophageal varices. Variceal rupture carries a high mortality. We report a case of successful pregnancy complicated by two episodes of massive variceal bleeding in a woman with PVT, and discuss how this might have been prevented.
