AbstractDespite its relatively protected position, the liver is the most frequently injured solid intra-abdominal organ.1 Most liver injuries can be managed conservatively, but about 5% to 10% require urgent laparotomy, usually when the mechanism of injury involves a vehicle accident and hemodynamic instability persists, in spite of 40 mL/kg of blood transfusion.2,3 In particular, grades IV and V liver injuries may pose a challenge to the surgeon trying to control hemorrhage, the leading cause of mortality.4 Traumatic injuries to the portal vein are rare but devastating. The mortality rate for portal vein injury ranges from 50% to 70%. A recent study of portal triad injuries has highighted the higher mortality rates associated with combination injuries involving multiple portal triad components, especially those that include portal vein injury.5 This case study describes a unique case of relatively minor trauma in a child resulting in portal triad injury, sudden demise, and surgical repair.

Rex Shunt

Portal hypertension is a result of an increase in intrahepatic resistance in the main portal vein. The Meso-Rex shunt is used to bypass the obstructed portal vein and restore the venous flow into the liver. This procedure alleviates the need for a hepatic transplant. The Meso-Rex shunt has proven to be an effective treatment for extrahepatic portal vein obstruction, thus saving children from a complete transplant. There are variants to this bypass surgery, and sonography is commonly used to assess the condition pre- and postoperatively. In this case, the shunt was uniquely different from the typical Meso-Rex bypass surgery. Particular vasculature made it imperative for the sonographer to review the prior sonograms and review the chart information before preforming the examination. It should also be noted that sonographers must adapt the protocols to give the utmost treatment.

Date seeds can be used as ingredients to enhance the nutritional value of some functional foods for human consumption as well as additives in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. However, there are no reports on the complications of date seeds after oral consumption. We currently report a patient with no history of gastrointestinal disease, who has been admitted to the hospital with portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and suffered from complications.
