The portal vein thrombosis in childhood is a rare disease, ranging from 1,1 / 100 000 to 0,72 / 1 000 000 live births, and the age and clinical manifestation is quite variable. It is the most common cause of preheatal non-cirrhotic, non-malignant portal hypertension in childhood and is defined as extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO). The etiology is not completely clear. The disease often develops slowly and manifests clinically with bleeding from the esophagus and / or splenomegaly. The low frequency of the disease, the difficulties in diagnosis and the need to prevent bleeding in the light of the developed guidelines, argue the authors to present and comment on their clinical experience. A boy aged 1 year and 5 months presented with hematemesis and melaena. The fibrogastroscopy found in the lower third of the esophagus moderate varices without active bleeding at the moment. The article presents the diagnostic searches and the therapeutic activities in the described clinical case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
