title: Cholecystojejunostomy varices demonstrated by enteroclysis.
abstract: Varices in unusual sites constitute a minor but significant cause of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with liver disease. We report a case of varices across the anastomotic line between the jejunum and gallbladder after cholecystojejunostomy. Although such varices have been demonstrated by angiography, to our knowledge they have never been demonstrated by small bowel enema (enteroclysis). We report a case and describe the findings on enteroclysis.
