Abstract The portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is one of the most frequent vascular diseases of the liver, with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The most common causes of the PVT are hepatic cirrhosis, hepatobiliary neoplasms, inflammatory and infectious abdominal diseases, and myeloproliferative syndromes.(1,2) The natural progress of the PVT has as a result portal hypertension which leads to splenomegaly and the formation of portosystemic collateral vessels, as well as gastroesophageal, duodenal and jejunal varices. Ultrasonography, especially Doppler ultrasound, is the most widely used imaging method to asses, supervise and diagnose PVT in patients with hepatopathies. The purpose of acute PVT treatment is to re-permeabilize the obstructed vessels; the endoscopic ligature of the varices in the eventuality of their rupture is safe and extremely efficient in chronic PVT. To conclude, PVT is the most common hepatic vascular disorder, and its prevalence has increased particularly among the patients with chronic hepatopathies.(3)

In the April 1968 issue of Pediatrics, Drs. Weldon and Odell propose to deal with the question of the relative risks of hyperbilirubi nemia due to causes other than Rh incompati bility and the risks inherent in the procedure of exchange transfusions. Their short-term results are certainly impressive and they acknowledge the possibility of late sequellae such as portal vein hypertension and homologous serum jaundice. Once again the case for the low risk of care fully done exchange transfusions has been made; but, to quote the authors, "In the final analysis the risk of development of bilirubin encephalopathy must be weighed against the morbidity and mortality risks inherent in the procedure itself."
