Computed tomography of esophageal varices after sclerotherapy

The computed tomographic appearance of the normal esophagus and esophageal carcinoma have been reported. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) also has been used to define the presence of esophageal varices. The CT appearance is reported of therapeutically sclerosed esophageal varices which mim...

Zusammenfassung:	The computed tomographic appearance of the normal esophagus and esophageal carcinoma have been reported. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) also has been used to define the presence of esophageal varices. The CT appearance is reported of therapeutically sclerosed esophageal varices which mimics esophageal carcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the first published case of this entity.
