case report
We report a case of a 40 year old man with portal hypertension caused by a
splenic arteriovenous fistula that was diagnosed at laparotomy. He presented with
bleeding esophageal varices and was initially treated by sclerotherapy. At laparotomy,
portal pressure was 40 cmH20 but fell to 20 cm H20 after the fistula was
treated with splenectomy.
All symptoms disappeared shortly after operation and the patient has remained
well for the past two years.
Arteriovenous fistula, Portal hypertension.
