Cirrhosis Of Liver

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.

First Time

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a common complication of liver cirrhosis and is often the first sign of undetected hepatocellular carcinoma. It is crucial to differentiate malignant from benign thrombosis in determining prognosis and treatment. We describe a case of malignant PVT, detected for the first time by a new ultrasound technology, microvascular flow imaging, which can depict low flow in small vessels.
