Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is thrombosis of the portal -circulation, which may present with varied symptoms. However, increased use of abdominal imaging has noted a large number of incidental PVT. At the same time, PVT may be overlooked in the absence of the characteristic symptoms. More recently, a mutation has been recognised as a cause of PVT. Anticoagulation is the mainstay of treatment, but can pose a dilemma because of the associated coagulopathy, the presence of varices and thrombocytopenia.
门静脉血栓形成(PVT)是门静脉循环的血栓形成,可能表现出多种症状。然而,腹部影像学检查的使用增加发现了大量偶然发现的PVT。同时,在没有特征性症状的情况下,PVT可能会被忽视。最近,一种突变已被确认为PVT的一个病因。抗凝是主要的治疗方法,但由于相关的凝血病、静脉曲张的存在和血小板减少症,可能会带来两难困境。
