title: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided treatment of bleeding duodenal varix.
abstract: A 35-year-old man presented with recurrence of upper gastrointestinal bleed after eradication of esophageal varices. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed submucosal lesion in the duodenum and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) demonstrated it to be a duodenal varix. Cyanoacrylate glue was injected into the duodenal varix and successful obliteration of the duodenal varix was demonstrated on a follow up EUS.
