[Sclerotherapy in the prevention of hemorrhage from esophageal varices in children].

During the years 1984-1987 obliteration of the oesophageal varices was done in 13 children with the portal hypertension. The method of treatment was based on injections of varicocid causing the thrombo-obliterative changes in the blood-vessels. Each of performed interventions (about 70) was successful and complications were never observed. Because of its high effectiveness and absence of harmful effects sclerotherapy is a valuable therapeutic method.
