Gastric varices: diagnosis with duplex Doppler ultrasonography--a case report.
The diagnosis of gastric varices may be difficult due to their anatomic location and morphology. In this abstract we describe a case of gastric varices, of which a duplex Doppler sonography was useful in the diagnosis, that was initially suggested as submucosal tumor of the stomach by barium studies and endoscopy.
