Abstract

Esophageal or gastric varices may be incidentally seen during endoscopy for dyspeptic or reflux symptoms. However, the frequency of their occurrence in these patients is unknown. Our center follows the scope and treat strategy for adult patients with dyspeptic or reflux symptoms and this provided us an opportunity to study this. Apart from providing an idea on the etiological spectrum, our data suggests that patients with incidentally detected varices have well preserved liver function which may provide a window for better management.
