ABSTRACT

Portal vein thrombosis is a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problem. The predominating clinical sign of isolated portal vein thrombosis is usually a haemorrhage from oesophageal varices. A case is presented of portal vein thrombosis without the above mentioned sign, treated conservatively with good effect. The importance is worth stressing of abdominal USG examination in early diagnosis of the described disease.
