Description
Lelde Tiltina and Tiago Pereira report treatment of bleeding varices around a urinary stoma, in a 2026 case report. Portal hypertension from chronic liver disease and liver cancer forced blood through fragile collateral vessels where an ileal conduit meets the abdominal wall. Even slight injury from a stoma appliance can set off heavy, life-threatening bleeding there.
The bluish swelling at the stoma, sometimes called a caput medusae of the stoma, signals these high-pressure vessels. Management options range from conservative care to surgery and minimally invasive procedures. The chosen route used a percutaneous transhepatic approach, reaching the vessels through the liver to block them by embolisation.
