[Varices of the anterior mediastinum in a case of portal hypertension treated by omentopexy (author's transl)]. 1979

G Frija, and A M Dhamelincourt, and J J Saragoussi, and J C Gaux, and V Bismuth

The authors report a case of portal hypertension due to cirrhosis of unknown aetiology, treated by omentopexy. They note the existence of a large varice of the anterior mediastinum responsible for the formation of two opacities of the left cardiophrenic angle. They discuss the nature and formation of these appearances in relation to the omentopexy and the portal hypertension.
