Hepatology International

Abstract

Idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) and extrahepatic portal venous obstruction (EHPVO) are non-cirrhotic vascular causes of portal hypertension (PHT). Variceal bleed and splenomegaly are the commonest presentations. The present review is intended to provide the existing literature on etiopathogenesis, clinical profile, diagnosis, natural history and management of IPH and EHPVO. IPH and EHPVO are both characterized by normal hepatic venous pressure gradient, moderate to massive splenomegaly with preserved liver synthetic functions. While the level of block in IPH is presinusoidal, in EHPVO it is at prehepatic level. Infections, autoimmunity, drugs, immunodeficiency and prothrombotic states are possible etiological agents in IPH. Contrastingly in EHPVO, prothrombotic disorders and local factors around the portal vein are the incriminating factors. Diagnosis is often clinical, supported by simple radiological tools. Natural history is defined by episodes of variceal bleed and symptoms related to enlarged spleen. Growth failure, portal biliopathy and minimal hepatic encephalopathy are additional concerns in EHPVO. Long-term survival is reasonably good with endoscopic surveillance; however, parenchymal extinction leading to decompe...Continue Reading
