Peritoneal radionuclide scan is an established imaging modality for evaluating peritoneopleural communications. In this case report, unusual mediastinal lymph node radiotracer uptake is seen in a patient with portal hypertension on peritoneal scintigraphy. This was suspected to be due to marked lymphatic enlargement from longstanding portal hypertension since childhood, permitting passage of th...
Complications of portal hypertension are the leading cause of death in patients with liver cirrhosis. Rational medical and endoscopic therapy is guided by a thorough understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of ascites, variceal formation and bleeding, hepatorenal syndrome, and hepatic encephalopathy. The pathophysiology of each clinical entity is reviewed followed by an evidence-based di...
ascites in the course of crohn's diseases is rare and is usually a sign of a concomitant malignancy, infection or thrombosis of portal or hepatic vein. herein, we reported on a 26-year-old man who was initially admitted with severe crohn's ileocolitis complicated by copious exudative ascites, abdominal pain and sever diarrhea. in our patient, we could not find any of the aforementioned conditio...
OBJECTIVE The objective of this article is to provide a practical review of the conditions other than cirrhosis that can result in diffuse surface nodularity of the liver or portal hypertension. CONCLUSION Conditions that can mimic cirrhosis on imaging include pseudocirrhosis of treated breast cancer metastases to the liver, fulminant hepatic failure, miliary metastases, sarcoidosis, schistos...
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has recently emerged as a most accurate, less invasive and easily repeatable alternative means of providing data on patients with portal hypertension. It is well established that video-echo endoscopy, with combined endoscopic and sonographic examination is comparable to endoscopy in diagnosing esophageal varices, but is more sensitive in diagnosing the presence ...
Two cases of portal hypertension due to hydatid cysts of the liver are reported. In one of the patients, symptoms were secondary to obstruction of inferior vena cava and hepatic outflow tract. The other patient was operated on with a diagnosis of extrahepatic presinusoidal portal hypertension caused by extrinsic compression of the liver by an hydatid cyst. Although hydatidosis is a benign disea...
We report two premature neonates with Candida albicans septic thrombosis of the portal vein who developed, in very early childhood, the sonographic appearance of cavernous transformation of the vessel and/or clinical signs of extrahepatic portal hypertension.
The Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) Working Party on Portal Hypertension has developed consensus guidelines on the disease profile, diagnosis, and management of noncirrhotic portal fibrosis and idiopathic portal hypertension. The consensus statements, prepared and deliberated at length by the experts in this field, were presented at the annual meeting of the APASL a...
Treatment of portal hypertension is evolving based on randomised controlled trials. In acute variceal bleeding, prophylactic antibiotics are mandatory, reducing mortality as well as preventing infections. Terlipressin or somatostatin combined with endoscopic ligation or sclerotherapy is the best strategy for control of bleeding but there is no added effect of vasoactive drugs on mortality. Non-...
Portal hypertension is a common clinical syndrome associated with chronic liver diseases, and is characterized by a pathological increase in portal pressure that leads to the formation of portosystemic collaterals resulting in shunting of portal blood into the systemic circulation. The increase in portal pressure is due to an increase in vascular resistance and an elevated portal blood flow. Th...
