Abstract

A 2-year-old boy with a Kasai portoenterostomy had systemic features suggestive of cholangitis and acute portal vein obstruction. The rapid rise in portal pressure caused a transient, severe decompensation of hepatic function. A superior mesenteric arterial angiogram confirmed the presence of diffuse intrahepatic portal vein thrombosis. Conclusion. This case provides clinical and radiological evidence supporting an association between ascending cholangitis and acute intrahepatic portal vein thrombosis.
