Abstract

Abdominal pain is a common complaint which has got a lot of causes. Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a rare cause of abdominal pain. PVT can be seen secondary to diseases such as cirrhosis, appendicitis, omphoalitis, pancreatitis, acute dehydratation, umbilical vein catheterization, malignancies and hepatitis. Because of life threatening complications early diagnosis of PVT is important. Ultasonography has got an important role in the diagnosis. We report a cirrhotic patient who was admitted with right upper quadrant pain in whom we detected PVT with ultrasonography.
