Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is an occlusion of the portal venous system and is a common complication of liver cirrhosis. It can present as either an acute or chronic complication. Acute PVT can present with abdominal pain, diarrhea, ileus, and bleeding. Chronic PVT is often asymptomatic; however, it can be discovered in cases of worsening portal hypertension. Portal vein thrombosis is diagnosed by imaging modalities, such as ultrasound and computed tomography. Contrast-enhanced imaging can be used in cases with difficult visualization. Despite the hemostatic imbalance in cirrhosis, anticoagulants can be safely used to recanalize the vein. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedures are also an effective method for recanalization.

Portal vein thrombosis, commonly associated with cirrhosis of liver and thrombophilia, is one of the rare causes of sudden severe abdominal pain. In the absence of noncirrhotic non-malignant extra hepatic portal vein thrombosis (EPVT), myeloproliferative disease (MPD) should always be considered. We describe a case of Polycythaemia Vera (PV) presenting with severe abdominal pain due to portal vein thrombosis. The patient was prescribed life-long warfarin, beta adrenergic blocker and aspirin. Due to uncontrolled platelet and white blood cell count he was later prescribed cytoreductive therapy.
