dc.description.abstractUpper GI endoscopies were done in 236 children (upto 12 years of age) presenting with history of hemetemesis. Varices were the commonest lesions (in 39.41%) followed by esophagitis (23.73%). Gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer and oesophageal ulcers were identified in 7.20%, 1.27%, 0.42% and 0.42% cases respectively. Cause of bleeding could not be ascertained in 27.54% cases. No significant premedication or procedure related complications were observed. Upper GI endoscopy is thus a safe and useful mode of investigation in cases of hemetemesis in children.en_US
