“…A potential role of cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis in the portal vein aneurysm development has been suggested by some authors [13], but these data have not been confirmed. The acquired forms may affect the main portal trunk, portal bifurcation and intrahepatic portal branches and are generally asymptomatic (about 30%) or paucisymptomatic in 50% of cases and associated with mild and nonspecific abdominal pain [3,14].…”

Portal vein aneurysms are rare abnormal dilations of the portal vein and represent less than 3% of all visceral aneurysms. They may be congenital or acquired, symptomatic or asymptomatic, complicated or uncomplicated. Portal vein aneurysms may be fusiform or saccular and this last one has a low prevalence. Due to the small number of cases reported in the medical literature and the lack of specific guidelines, the management and treatment of this condition is still undefined. In this review, we report a case of saccular portal vein aneurysm in a 73-year old man with liver cirrhosis and discuss all cases of portal vein aneurysms reported in literature.

Portal vein aneurysm (PVA) is a rare vascular abnormality, representing 3% of all venous aneurysms in the human body, and is not well understood. It can be congenital or acquired, located mainly at the level of confluence, main trunk, branches and bifurcation. A PVA as an abnormality of the portal venous system was first reported in 1956 by Barzilai and Kleckner. A review from 2015 entitled “Portal vein aneurysm: What to know” considered fewer than 200 cases. In the last seven years, there has been an increase in the number of PVAs diagnosed thanks to routine abdominal imaging. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive update of PVA, including aetiology, epidemiology, and clinical assessment, along with an evaluation of advanced multimodal imaging features of aneurysm and management approaches.

“…Conditions such as pancreatitis, cirrhosis, malignancy, and trauma have already been reported as potential causes of portal vein aneurysm. 2 Deleve et al 3 reported cholecystitis as a local risk factor for portal vein thrombosisas well as morphological abnormalities of the portal vein.…”

“…One-third of patients are asymptomatic; 50% of patients present with nonspecific abdominal pain; gastrointestinal bleeding and portal hypertension occur in < 10% of cases. 2 The laboratory tests and absence of Murphy's sign ruled out acute or chronic cholecystitis. It is interesting that the authors did not use or provide a gastrointestinal endoscopy.…”
