Article Synopsis
- Caustic ingestion in children is a significant public health issue, often resulting from improper storage and packaging of hazardous products, leading to potential medical emergencies that can affect vital functions in about 10% of cases.

- The study analyzed 17 cases, revealing symptoms like dysphagia and general condition deterioration, with 24% requiring esogastroduodenal fibroscopy to assess the severity of esophageal and stomach lesions according to Zargar stages.

Embolization of gastric varices with cyanoacrylate glue is the treatment of choice for digestive bleeding due to rupture of gastric varices. Gastrointestinal bleeding due to the expulsion of cyanoacrylate glue after gluing of gastric varices is a rare complication. We here report the case of a 65-year-old female patient on cirrhosis and decompensation treatment, undergoing cyanoacrylate glue of gastric varices 3 months before her admission for upper gastrointestinal bleeding; oesogastroduodenal fibroscopy objectified oesophageal varices grade 2 with ulcerated gastric varices and active bleeding due to the expulsion of cyanoacrylate glue.

Purpose: Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) due to esophageal varices (EV) is one of the factors that negatively impact native liver survival of patients with biliary atresia (BA). Gastrointestinal fibroscopy (GIF) is usually used to determine the presence of EVs; however, it requires general anesthesia. The aim of this study is to search for markers in blood tests obtained during routine check-ups that can predict the development of GIB.
