Wireless esophageal capsule endoscopy ( PillCam Eso2)
"This is a simple blind (blind for the lecture of the capsule endoscopy record) study to evaluate the diagnostic value of the capsule endoscopy for the detection and the control of esophageal varices, the feasibility, tolerance and safety of the capsule endoscopy compared to the conventional EGD under general sedation in children presenting with portal hypertension.~During one week, the patients will undergo two exams (capsule endoscopy and EGD under general sedation). The exams will be done by two different physicians.~For to asses the tolerance, after they completed both exams, the patients will be asked to answer a comfort score questionnaire.~In order to asses the safety of the capsule endoscopy, the patients will be followed for adverse events during 3 weeks after the completion of the capsule endoscopy."
