title: Unusual cause for abdominal pain in cirrhosis : thrombosed intrahepatic portal vein aneurysms.
abstract: Portal venous system aneurysm is a rare condition with very few reported cases in English literature. With the increasing availability of advanced imaging modalities like Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, portal venous system aneurysms are being increasingly reported. Here, we report a rare case of multiple intrahepatic portal venous system aneurysms complicated by thrombosis in a young patient with chronic liver disease and portal hypertension.
