Portal vein aneurysms can cause vague abdominal pain. In this case, conservative management without surgery was successful for over three years, showing it can be a viable option.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Abdominal Imaging
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Portal vein aneurysms (PVAs) are rare vascular malformations.
  • PVAs can present with nonspecific abdominal pain, raising diagnostic challenges.
  • Surgical intervention for PVAs carries significant risks, especially in elderly or comorbid patients.

Observation:

  • A 72-year-old female presented with non-specific abdominal pain.
  • An incidental finding of a portal vein aneurysm was made.
  • The patient had significant comorbidities, rendering surgical risk high.

Findings:

  • Conservative, non-operative management was chosen due to high surgical risk.
  • The patient experienced over 3 years of symptom-free follow-up.

  • The portal vein aneurysm remained morphologically unchanged during the observation period.

    • Implications:

    • This case suggests that non-operative management can be a safe and effective option for select patients with portal vein aneurysms.
    • Careful monitoring may be sufficient in asymptomatic patients or those with prohibitive surgical risks.
    • Further review of existing literature supports a conservative approach in specific clinical scenarios.
