Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is characterized by a complete or partial occlusion of the portal vein by a thrombus. The formation of the thrombus is usually attributed to an underlying condition that is causing a hypercoagulable state, such as malignancy or cirrhosis. When these causes are ruled out, a hypercoagulable workup can reveal other underlying prothrombotic etiologies. Still, some cases of PVT occur without any definitive underlying condition, leading to the diagnosis of idiopathic PVT. This occurred in our patient, a 53-year-old female who presented with PVT but had no clear underlying condition that led to her pathology after an extensive medical investigation.
门静脉血栓形成（PVT）的特征是血栓完全或部分阻塞门静脉。血栓形成通常归因于导致高凝状态的潜在疾病，如恶性肿瘤或肝硬化。当排除这些原因后，进行高凝检查可发现其他潜在的血栓形成病因。然而，仍有一些PVT病例在没有任何明确潜在疾病的情况下发生，从而导致特发性PVT的诊断。我们的患者就是如此，这是一名53岁的女性，她表现为PVT，但在经过广泛医学检查后，没有发现导致其病情的明确潜在疾病。
