Late Manifestation of Massive Jejunal and Cecal Varices Post Liver and Small Bowel Transplantation in a Patient With Microvillus Inclusion Disease

We report the case of an 18-year-old male with a medical history of microvillous inclusion disease (MID) and notable surgical history of small bowel, liver, and pancreas transplant who presented with massive jejunal and cecal varices. Endoscopy findings demonstrated a large grape-like cluster, with subsequent CT angiography (CTA) showing other variceal lesions in the cecum. The patient was transferred to the original transplant center for recommended open surgical evaluation and combined interventional radiology (IR) embolization of varices. MID is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the Myosin VB (MYO5B) gene leading to a lack of myosin Vb. Patients subsequently develop liver damage at birth, which necessitates a small bowel/liver transplant in childhood.
