Abstract

Histological findings of esophageal varices were studied in 10 subjects injected by a gelatin added barium solution into gastric coronary vein at autopsy, and its relationship to Red-Color sign as one of the endoscopical findings was discussed. Upon a histological study of the epithelium thinned by varicose vein, its frequency was noted to be nearly proportional to the grade of Red-Color sign, and it is observed more frequently in the critical area. When the part of the ruptured varices was studied in serial sections, the thinned epithelium was observed around the ruptured veins.
