title: [Ultrasonic measurement of the normal portal vein in children].
abstract: The portal vein was measured in 244 children from under a year old to 18 years of age in order to have normal measurement values for the vein according to age groups. No tables seem to be available containing this information. From the group, 164 patients were selected and were placed in six different groups according to their ages. The tables show the values obtained, a percentile curve, averages with standard deviations and ranges.
