| 1 | Autoimmune pancreatitis complicated by gastric varices:A report of 3 cases显示文摘We present three cases of autoimmune pancreatitis(AIP) complicated by gastric varices.Case 1:A 57-yearold man was diagnosed with AIP complicated by gastric varices and splenic vein obstruction.Splenomegaly was not detected at the time of the diagnosis.The AIP improved using steroid therapy,the splenic vein was reperfused,and the gastric varices disappeared;case 2:A 55-year-old man was diagnosed with AIP complicated by gastric varices,splenic vein obstruction,and splenomegaly.Although the AIP improved using steroid therapy,the gastric varices and splenic vein obstruction did not resolve;case 3:A 68-year-old man was diagnosed with AIP complicated by gastric varices,splenic vein obstruction,and splenomegaly.The gastric varices,splenic vein obstruction,and AIP did not improve using steroid therapy.These three cases suggest that gastric varices or splenic vein obstruction without splenomegaly may be an indication for steroid therapy in patients with AIP because the complications will likely become irreversible over time. | Norihiro Goto Jun Mimura Toshinao Itani Motohito Hayashi Yukari Shimada Tomoaki Matsumori | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012，18，31： | 2 |
