ABSTRACT

Left portal hypertension it’s a rare uncommon clinical entity baerly described that’s many times underdiagnosed since it is confused with another pathology such as usual portal hypertension. This two pathologies vary a lot regarding aetiology, clinical presentation and treatment therefore it is essential to know the existence of both etiologies to discern in between them and take the best therapeutic decisión. As for the radiologic approach it is needed to know this entity, is frequent aetiology, associations and implications in order to know which findings too look for intentionally in the studies whenever we are studying a patient for digestive tract bleeding not for esophageal varices but for gastric varices or both. In the present paper is presented a case of recently diagnosed left portal hypertension to make a brief revision of the literature regarding frequency, physiopathology and clinical findings.
