Biliary changes secondary to portal hypertension, especially in portal cavernoma secondary to extrahepatic portal vein obstruction have long been described in literature under different names by various authors. Most of the times these changes are asymptomatic and discovered on imaging, but can occasionally cause obstructive jaundice. There is no consensus on the appropriate nomenclature and definition of this entity. This article reviews the history of portal hypertensive biliopathy and the Indian Association for the Study of Liver Working Party consensus definition and nomenclature for it.
门静脉高压继发的胆道改变,尤其是肝外门静脉阻塞继发的门静脉海绵样变性,长期以来在文献中有不同作者以不同名称进行过描述。大多数情况下,这些改变无症状,通过影像学检查发现,但偶尔可导致梗阻性黄疸。对于该实体的恰当命名和定义尚无共识。本文回顾了门静脉高压性胆管病的历史以及印度肝脏研究协会工作组对此的共识定义和命名。
