title: Cruveilhier-Baumgarten disease.
abstract: An unusual case of portal hypertension in an asymptomatic 33-year-old man is presented. The findings of splenomgealy, esophageal and gastric varices, a patent umbilical vein with associated venous hum, and three normal liver biopsies qualify him for the diagnosis of Cruveilhier-Baumgarten disease. Possible etiologic explanations of his portal hypertension are discussed.
