title: [Hypertensive colopathy: its endoscopic evaluation and evolution following a liver transplant].
abstract: In the last decade the association between intestinal vasculopathy and Portal Hypertension (PH) has been established on the basis of endoscopic, histological and histomorphometric examinations. We report the case of a patient with cirrhosis secondary to hepatitis C virus, in whom colonoscopy demonstrated the presence of colonic vascular lesions with cherry spots appearance in the rectum and left colon that vanished two weeks after liver transplantation. The disappearance of mucosal lesions after liver grafting suggest a relation ship among them and portal hypertension.
