 note = {Endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) was performed in seven children for the treatment of esophageal varices. Six of the patients had congenital biliary atresia (CBA) and had undergone a previous Kasai procedure, and biliary hypoplasia was the cause of varices in the remaining case. EIS was employed therapeutically for variceal rupture in six instances and prophylactically in one patient. From the initiation of EIS, no bleeding occurred in any case. There were no serious complications. Endoscopic grade and variceal size improved after treatment. Ultimately, five patients died of hepatic failure, including two patients who died of hepatic failure resulting from bleeding of esophagogastric varices at 4 days and 28 days after EIS. EIS of large varices in children with CBA is a safe and useful modality. Prophylactic EIS should be considered in patients with varices with high risk of rupture.},
