Enfermedad veno-oclusiva hepática, colitis ulcerosa idiopática y trombosis portal: Comunicación de un caso clínico
We report a previously healthy 29 years old man, presenting with a sudden episode of abdominal pain, mild jaundice, hepatomegaly and ascites. Magnetic resonance imaging study and liver biopsy were compatible with veno-occlusive disease. Incidentally, an ulcerative colitis and portal vein thrombosis were diagnosed. Anticoagulant treatment was started, with good clinical and radiological response. Veno-occlusive disease of the liver must be suspected in cases of liver failure and ascites associated to procoagulant conditions (Rev Méd Chile 2004; 132: 1091-5)
