General rules for recording endoscopic findings of esophageal varices were initially proposed in 1980 and revised in 1991. These rules have widely been used in Japan and other countries. Recently, portal hypertensive gastropathy has been recognized as a distinct histological and functional entity. Endoscopic ultrasonography can clearly depict vascular structures around the esophageal wall in patients with portal hypertension. Owing to progress in medicine, we have updated and slightly modified the former rules. The revised rules are simpler and more straightforward than the former rules and include newly recognized findings of portal hypertensive gastropathy and a new classification for endoscopic ultrasonographic findings.
食管静脉曲张内镜检查结果记录的一般规则最初于 1980 年提出，并于 1991 年修订。这些规则在日本和其他国家得到了广泛应用。最近，门静脉高压性胃病被认为是一种独特的组织学和功能实体。内镜超声检查可以清楚地显示门静脉高压患者食管壁周围的血管结构。随着医学的进步，我们对以前的规则进行了更新和略微修改。修订后的规则比以前的规则更简单、更直接，包括新发现的门静脉高压性胃病和内镜超声检查结果的新分类。
