Abstract
Paediatric interventional radiology is an evolving speciality which is able to offer numerous minimally invasive treatments for gastrointestinal tract pathologies. Here we describe interventions performed by paediatric interventional radiologists on the alimentary tract from the mouth to the rectum. The interventions include sclerotherapy, stricture management by dilation, stenting and adjunctive therapies such as Mitomycin C administration and enteral access for feeding, motility assessment and administration of enemas.
