Abstract
Introduction Bleeding stomal varices after ileal conduit urinary diversion are rare, but they can develop in patients with portal venous hypertension caused by cirrhosis. Case presentation We report the case of a 68-year-old man who developed stomal haemorrhage two months after radical cystectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion to treat invasive bladder cancer. Alcoholic cirrhosis and portal venous hypertension were considered to be the causes of varices and bleeding. We chose to control the stomal varices using sclerotherapy. The stomal varices disappeared and no bleeding recurred during one year of follow up. Conclusion We believe that sclerotherapy is a suitable treatment for bleeding stomal varices.
