Abstract
|
|
|
Ablation of blood flow through the extrahepatic portal vein itself. And/or segment of its major tribufaries is the dominant pathologic mechanism in extrahepatic portal hypertension. In children, the most common cause of portal hypertension is
portal
thrombosis. Portal vein thrombosis is resultant most often neonatal omphalitis, umbilical vein catheterization for exchange transfusion. Peritonitis. Abdominal trauma. Etc. Portal vein thrombosis secondary to omphalitis is an attractive and
widely
held
hypothesis for the development of portal vein occiusion and portal hypertension.
We experienced two cases of esophagogastric variceal bleeding caused by portal vein thrombosis who have history of omphalitis in neonatal and childhood. So we report these cases with a review of relevant literatures.
