During a 4-year period (1980-1984) nine children aged 11/2 to 13 years with acute or recent bleeding from gastro-oesophageal varices were treated by injection sclerotherapy. Chronic liver disease was the cause of portal hypertension in three and extrahepatic portal venous obstruction in six. Seven had experienced recurrent bleeding episodes, and massive haemorrhage initiated treatment in two children. Seven patients rebled before eradication of all critical varices and two after, both from ulcers at the site of injection. All critical varices were eradicated in the nine children within a median of 11/2 months, after a median of five courses of injections. No further variceal bleeding occurred during the follow-up period of up to 57 months (mean, 20.9 months). Complications included oesophageal and gastric ulcers in four patients. One patient with congenital hepatic fibrosis and aortic insufficiency died of septicaemia 19 months after entering the treatment.
