Extrahepatic portal vein occlusion presenting with vascular, biliary, and visceral complications evaluated on multidetector computed tomography

Abstract

Extrahepatic portal venous obstruction, predominantly a disease of childhood, is a chronic and long-standing disease characterized by thrombosis of the portal vein, leading to multiple collateral formation and other associated complications owing to long-standing nature of the disease. We present the case of a 22-year-old male with symptoms and signs of gastrointestinal bleed and pain in the left upper abdomen with similar episodes in the past.
