A case report of a 30years old patient followed for portal Vein Thrombosis (PVT) complicated with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to esophageal varices. JAK 2 V617F mutation was positive, therefore the diagnosis of primary polycythemia was retained. This case report showed that it important to think of different etiologies besides cirrhosis while managing patients with PVT especially diseases with pro thrombotic state.

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.
