Diagnostic Modalities

Portal hypertensive cholangiopathy is a rare complication of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction and portal cavernoma. It is usually asymptomatic but may be associated with jaundice, biliary colic, and fever. Abdominal sonography and Doppler are ideal initial diagnostic modalities, followed by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. These imaging modalities are important if an intervention is planned for the management of portal hypertension and for relieving biliary obstruction. If computed tomography (CT) is performed in isolation, it may be challenging to distinguish this entity from acute on chronic portal vein thrombosis. The diagnostic results should be interpreted cautiously. This case report of an abdomen CT performed on a patient with a history of portal vein thrombosis masqueraded as an acute on chronic portal vein thrombosis with cavernous collaterals. Doppler confirmed the diagnosis of portal hypertensive cholangiopathy. Correlation with clinical symptoms and Doppler may be necessary to distinguish portal hypertensive cholangiopathy from acute portal vein thrombus.

Extensive Involvement

The extensive involvement of the liver due to hydatid cyst and it’s invasion to the portal vein and resulted portal vein thrombosis are rare complications of hydatid cyst. The diagnosis and treatment of hydatid liver cyst and its rare complication such as thrombosis in infected patients should be critically considered.

Increased Risk

CONTEXT: Splenic or portal vein thrombosis is a rare complication following splenectomy. CASE REPORT: We report a case of splenic and portal venous thrombosis in a 10-year-old girl with chronic myeloid leukemia who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy prior to bone marrow transplant. Clinical suspicion of such thrombosis should be high for patients who have had splenectomy. The diagnosis is confirmed by Doppler ultrasound or contrast-enhanced computed tomography; magnetic resonance imaging magnetic resonance angiography or arteriography can also be used. Proposals for postoperative screening protocols are discussed. Patients with primary myeloproliferative disorders are at increased risk of portal vein thrombosis, independent of surgical intervention, perhaps due to platelet dysfunction resulting from abnormalities of pluripotent stem cells. Marked splenomegaly (with larger draining veins) is thought to increase the risk of thrombosis.
