Portal vein aneurysm is a rare medical entity that can be caused by chronic hepatic diseases with portal hypertension. We describe a 45-year-old man with variceal bleeding from hepatosplenic schistosomiasis and an incidentally found intrahepatic aneurysm. Diagnosis was confirmed with non-invasive imaging exams, arteriography and liver biopsy. Following splenectomy, the aneurysm diameter decreased substantially.
门静脉瘤是一种罕见的医学病症，可由伴有门静脉高压的慢性肝脏疾病引起。我们描述了一名45岁男性，患有肝脾血吸虫病引起的静脉曲张出血，并偶然发现了肝内动脉瘤。通过非侵入性成像检查、动脉造影和肝活检确诊。脾切除术后，动脉瘤直径大幅减小。
