A 43-year-old male patient was transferred to our hospital for hematochezia. The patient had a history of chronic liver disease associated with alcohol use. The initial blood pressure was 93/73 mmhg, and the hemoglobin level was 8.4 g/dl. Severe hepatomegaly and periportal fatty infiltration were seen on abdominal computed tomography. Markedly ectatic veins protruded from the luminal side of the proximal ascending colon and drained to the dilated ileocecal and retroperitoneal veins. Emergent colonoscopy failed because of continuous hematochezia and hypovolemic shock, despite massive transfusion. Markedly dilated colonic varices were noticed around the ileocecal and ascending colon on superior mesenteric arteriography. An emergent right hemicolectomy was performed. The presumed bleeding focus was a protruding varix with a red clot on the top of a denuded vein on the anteromedial wall of the proximal ascending colon.

- 김흥업외 6 인 : 간경화증에동반된상행결장의정맥류출혈 - 복부전산화단층촬영은비침습적검사법으로간경변증과연관된정맥류진단에도움을주며, 최근 3차원다중검출기전산화단층촬영 (three-dimensional multi-detector low computed tomography) 이개발됨에따라영상의우수성이높아지고동맥기에서동맥성출혈소를찾을뿐아니라문맥고혈압이있는경우문맥정맥기 (portal venogram) 에서우회로를발견하고정맥성출혈질환에대한치료의계획을세울수있는장점이있다 11, 12). 혈관조영술은분당 0.5~1 ml/ 분의소량의출혈도찾아낼수있는검사법이다. 그러나혈관조영술도 9.3% 에서는합병증을초래할수있으며 13) 정맥류출혈은동맥성출혈이아닌이유로동맥기에직접조영된영상을얻을수없다. 또한정맥기영상을얻었다하더라도출혈유무를확인할수없는경우가많은데그이유는정맥류내에조영제가고르게분포지않아출혈병소로조영제가유출되지않을수있기때문이다 14). 대장정맥류출혈에대한치료는출혈의정도에따라결정해야하며대량출혈이나만성적인빈혈을유발할경우수술적치료를먼저고려해야한다 15). 간경변증의경우환자의전신상태가좋지않은경우가많아출혈에의한빈혈이심하지않거나미만성으로전대장에걸쳐정맥류가존재하는경우보존적치료를먼저생각해볼수있다. 그러나대장의일부분절에만정맥류가있는경우나급성재발성출혈이있는경우는수술적치료를고려할수있다 7). 최근에는여러가지비수술적치료법들이시도되고있는데 TIPS (transhepatic intravenous portosystemic shunt), BRTO (balloon occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration), EVL (endoscopic varix ligation), histoacryl injection 등이대표적이다 16-19). 진단및치료법은질병의중증도와진료항목에대한가용성과숙련도를고려하여각병원의여건에따라선택할수있다 20). 간경변증환자의위장관출혈은식도및위정맥류출혈이대부분이나이번증례처럼드물게대장이나다른위장관의이소성정맥류출혈도있다는것을간과해서는안될것이며대량의정맥류출혈시다른보존적치료와함께수술적치료도적극고려해야할것이다. 요약간경변증이나문맥고혈압에의한정맥류출혈은주로식도와위에발생하나일부에서는소장과대장등에서도발생할수있다. 대장의정맥류출혈은주로직장과맹장에발생하며국내에서는좌측대장에발생된소수의예만보고되 었고, 아직상행결장의정맥류출혈은보고된바없다. 알코올성간경변증으로의심되는 43세남자환자가대량의혈변으로내원하였고, 복부전산화단층촬영및혈관조영술로상행결장의정맥류를확인하고우결장반절제술을시행하였고, 수술후지혈되었으며수술검체에서정맥류에의한출혈이확인되었다. 저자는 43세남자환자에서발생한알코올성간경화증에의한상행결장의정맥류출혈을문헌고찰과함께보고하는바이다. 중심단어 : 대장정맥류 ; 하부위장관출혈 ; 알코올성간경변증 REFERENCES 1) Han JH, Jeon WJ, Chae HB, Park SM, Youn SJ, Kim SH, Bae IH, Lee SJ.
