A rare portal vein aneurysm was found in a 52-year-old woman. This condition, often linked to liver disease or congenital factors, requires close monitoring if asymptomatic.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Portal aneurysms are rare vascular anomalies.
  • Etiologies include acquired factors (hepatocellular disease, portal hypertension) and congenital origins (vitelline vein remnants).
  • Diagnosis can be challenging, often requiring advanced imaging and surgical exploration.

Observation:

  • A 52-year-old female presented with an echographic lesion in the pancreatic head.
  • Initial radiological assessments (CT, MRI) were inconclusive.
  • Explorative laparotomy revealed an aneurysm at the confluence of the portal and superior mesenteric veins.

Findings:

  • The study reports a case of portal vein aneurysm.
  • The aneurysm was located at the junction of the portal vein and superior mesenteric vein.

  • The rarity and potential etiologies of such aneurysms are discussed.

    • Implications:

    • Asymptomatic portal aneurysms warrant conservative management with close surveillance.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management.
    • Understanding the pathogenesis aids in risk stratification and treatment planning.
