Non Cirrhotic Portal Gastropathy: A Case Report

Abstract

Idiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertension is a rare diagnosis caused by an unknown etiology with
elevated intrahepatic portal pressures in the absence of underlying liver disease. We present a unique
case of a 45-year-old male with non cirrhotic gastropathy with duodenal oedema with spleenomegaly
with MOD with ascitis with hypoalbunemia. There is limited treatment available as management is
primarily aimed toward preventing complications of the disease. This case highlights the need for
further investigative research of this disease entity and its pathogenesis.
