%X Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a disease in which thrombosis occurs from the intrahepatic branches of the portal vein and may extend to the splenic vein and/or superior mesenteric vein. It is most often associated with liver cirrhosis. PVT not associated with cirrhosis is rare. The aim of this case series of portal vein thrombosis is to give importance that even though PVT is a rare cause of abdominal pain, timely diagnosis, and appropriate management is vital due to its lethal complications such as mesenteric ischemia and mesenteric infarction and late complication like portal hypertension.
