Extra hepatic portal venous obstruction

Extra Hepatic Portal Venous Obstruction in Children

Portal hypertension is the commonest cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in children and up to 30% of cases with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage can be fatal. Extrahepatic portal venous obstruction (EHPVO) is the commonest cause of portal hypertension in children and also one of the common causes in adults in India and other tropical countries (Arora, 1998; Poddar, 2008; Poddar 2000). In...

Portal biliopathy.

Portal biliopathy (PB) is a rare disorder, which mostly presents as sub-clinically. It occurs most commonly due to idiopathic extrahepatic portal vein obstruction. We present three cases having features of portal biliopathy secondary to portal hypertension. Our first case did not have a prior history of chronic liver disease while next two patients had previous history of chronic liver disease ...

Portal biliopathy

Portal biliopathy refers to cholangiographic abnormalities which occur in patients with portal cavernoma. These changes occur as a result of pressure on bile ducts from bridging tortuous paracholedochal, epicholedochal and cholecystic veins. Bile duct ischemia may occur due prolonged venous pressure effect or result from insufficient blood supply. In addition, encasement of ducts may occur due ...

Growth assessment in children with extra-hepatic portal vein obstruction and portal hypertension.

BACKGROUND Several studies carried out to examine the growth of children with extra-hepatic portal vein obstruction and portal hypertension have reported a variety of findings. AIM To assess anthropometric indices in children with portal hypertension due to extra-hepatic portal vein obstruction and who were treated by endoscopic variceal sclerotherapy. METHODS Anthropometric data were obtai...
