Abstract
- Portal vein thrombosis is an uncommon cause for presinusodal portal hypertension. Several predisposing conditions are known to exist in the background of portal vein thrombosis including infection, malignancies, and coagulation disorders. Recently, there has been growing interest and recognition of antiphospholipid syndrome in association with acquired hypercoagulable state. This syndrome consists of thrombosis of veins or arteries, frequent fetal loss, and association of lupus anticoagulant or anti-Cardiolipin antibodies. We report the case of a 29-year-old male diagnosed with portal vein thrombosis associated with antiphospholipid syndrome.
