Vaginal and uterine varices are well documented in pregnancy, although development of vaginal varices in patients with portal hypertension occurs in an exceptionally rare subset. Only 12 cases are reported in the literature; all but 3 of these cases involved patients with a history of hysterectomy, with 1 of the remaining 2 exhibiting partial obliteration of the uterine plexus due to radiation therapy for cervical cancer. We present a case of recurrent vaginal variceal bleeding in a patient with a history of hysterectomy, initially managed with vaginal tamponade and ultimately requiring definitive treatment with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion.
孕期阴道和子宫静脉曲张已有充分记录,尽管门静脉高压患者出现阴道静脉曲张极为罕见。文献中仅报道了12例;除3例之外,其余病例均有子宫切除史,剩余2例中的1例因宫颈癌放疗导致子宫丛部分闭塞。我们报告1例有子宫切除史的患者复发性阴道静脉曲张出血,最初采用阴道填塞治疗,最终需要通过经颈静脉肝内门体分流术进行确定性治疗。
