Portal venous system aneurysms were rare in our study group but occurred more frequently than previously thought. All thrombosed aneurysms, most with a recurrence, were symptomatic and larger in patients with symptoms of portal venous system aneurysm than in those without symptoms. There were no differences among patients with portal venous system aneurysm and those without portal venous system aneurysm with respect to patient age and patient sex. Among those with aneurysms, there was no difference between subjects with intrahepatic versus extrahepatic aneurysms. A thrombophilic defect probably played a role in development of thrombosis in the portal venous system aneurysm.
