Symptoms are generally nonspecific at presentation. Patients may present with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. While rare, gastrointestinal bleeding, ascites, and mesenteric ischemia are some of the more alarming presentations [5]. [cureus.com]

The abdominal lump and bruit were still present but there was no ascites. The haemogram, renal and liver function tests were within normal limits. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Case Presentation A 75-year-old woman presented to an outside hospital with hematochezia and hematemesis. She had a surgical history of two small bowel resections four and six years prior to presentation. [cvirendovasc.springeropen.com]

We present an unusual case of a 34-year-old man presented with melena, initially thought to be secondary to bleeding varices from cirrhosis related to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. [scielo.isciii.es]

  In non GIT cause such as vascular disease or when the problem cannot be managed laparoscopically, laparotomy is indicated. [wjes.biomedcentral.com]

Through this case report, we hope to highlight awareness of this unusual condition, discuss the diagnostic workup and our management approach. [wjgnet.com]

Further workup revealed a large SMAVF as the cause of severe portal hypertension and gastroesophageal varices. Case Report A 34-year-old man presented with melena, without complaints of chronic abdominal pain. [scielo.isciii.es]

• Transaminases Increased

  After successful embolisation, the serum transaminases increased [Table 1] and then gradually normalised. This probably happened due to a relative ischaemia secondary to the disruption of arterial blood flow through the portal vein. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Topics of parti- cular interest include feed-back regulation, new aspects of conservative and interventional treatment as well as modern surgical approaches including organ-preserving procedures. [books.google.com]

Therefore, a surgical treatment was considered to be the only suitable treatment for such severe ascites. Laparoscopic low anterior resection including APF in the mesorectum was performed using five ports. [sages.org]

Portal venous gas is often associated with a dismal prognosis, since it is related to extensive intestinal necrosis in 75% of all the cases [ 2 ]. [em-consulte.com]

Prognosis This depends on the prognosis of the underlying disease, and on the outcome of any complications such as variceal bleeding. [patient.info]

Gas in portal vein is a good predictive factor for diagnosis, management, and prognosis [ 56 ]. In the past the traditional teaching is to operate once you have radiological evidence of PVG. [wjes.biomedcentral.com]

Often, obviously dead segments are removed at the first operation, and a second-look operation is planned to assess segments that are borderline that may be savable after revascularization. [28] Prognosis [ edit ] The prognosis depends on prompt diagnosis [en.wikipedia.org]

The correct diagnosis and characterization of PVT is important for the prognosis and further treatment. [7] Portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) is a poor prognostic indicator, which is found at diagnosis in 10-40% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma [emedicine.medscape.com]

Conclusions This report highlights a potential etiology of variceal bleeding in the acutely ill patient. [cvirendovasc.springeropen.com]

AVFs can occur as a result of blunt or penetrating traumas such as a gunshot or stab wound [ 1, 7 ] or idiopathic etiology [ 3, 4, 5 ]. [astr.or.kr]
