PREFACE TO THE PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITIONSECOND EDITION

This type of work has been prepared to meet the compelling needs of the under and postgraduate medical students.

To promote its accessibility this work is presented in 2 CDs, each one contains 6 chapters.

The 1st one includes (Barium Series in GIT–Portal Venography – Plain X-ray Abdomen and Biliary).

The 2nd one includes ( Vascular Surgery – Chest – Urology – Varieties and Orthopedic).

In fact no effort has been spared in trying to eliminate the difficulties encountered by medical students during their studies and training surgery.

Etiology of esophageal varices. Anatomy of esophageal varices. Complications. What are the other Porto systemic collaterals?

- Hepatopetal collaterals - Hepatofugal collaterals Why EV is considered the most serious problem in

Porto systemic collaterals. Management:

(1) Clinical picture.

(2) Other investigations should be done.

(3) Treatment: - silent varices.

- Bleeding varices ---- Acute attack.

---- In between attacks.

Questions

The left gastric, short gastric, and terminal branches of the splenic vein provide the main venous drainage.

They are arranged into 4 layers with a series of perforating veins.

In Portal Hypertension they are all dilated with reversed or bidirectional blood flow.

Dilated intraepithelial and sub epithelial V may lead to varices on varices----» “Cherry red spot” or “Red wale”.

It is present in the lower end of the chest, the bleeding is severe and may be fatal due to.

1- Negative intrathoracic pressure.

2- Shearing movement of the diaphragm.

3- Increased acidity and reflux.

4- Present in inaccessible area.

5- Chronic liver CF with coagulation defect. The amount and time of bleeding are not expected. The blood is digested by Hcl of the stomach, and

fermented by E coli with liberation of huge amount of ammonia liver – more liver failure

Brain -- Ammoniacal encephalopathy.

Why EV is considered the most serious problem

How to read Barium swallow It revealed that the barium-filled diverticulum

extends below the level of the cricopharyngeus posterior to the proximal cervical esophagus.

A large diverticulum may protrude to the left or compress the cervical esophagus.

Diagnosis most probably

Zenker's diverticulum

(posterior hypopharyngeal diverticulum)

Zenker's diverticulum (posterior hypopharyngeal diverticulum) is an acquired mucosal herniation through an area of anatomic weakness in the region of the cricopharyngeus muscle (Killian's dehiscence).

This area of anatomic weakness has been variably described as between the thyropharyngeus and cricopharyngeus muscles or between the oblique and

horizontal fibers of the cricopharyngeus. Patients complain of coughing following swallowing,

food regurgitation, or halitosis. Many patients with have an associated hiatal hernia and/or gastroesophageal reflux.

Rarely, these diverticula are complicated by ulceration or malignancy.

During swallowing, a Zenker's diverticulum appears as a posterior bulging of the distal pharyngeal wall above an anteriorly protruding cricopharyngeus.

At rest, the barium-filled diverticulum extends below the level of the cricopharyngeus posterior to the proximal cervical esophagus.

A large diverticulum may protrude to the left or compress the cervical esophagus.
