“…However, there are only a small number of case reports identifying portal vein and inferior vena cava thrombosis in living individuals. Two recent reports identified thrombosis of the right suprahepatic and inferior vena cava 12 13. Another report found hepatic vein thrombosis as a complication of extraintestinal amoebiasis, also known as Budd-Chiari syndrome 14.…”

SUMMARYWe describe a case of a young returning traveller who contracted amoebic dysentery while visiting India. She presented to a major London Hospital several months later with features suggestive of amoebic liver abscesses, a known sequelae of amoebiasis. MRI with intravenous contrast demonstrated an area of likely occlusion of the portal vein. The patient was treated with intravenous metronidazole for 10 days followed by diloxanide furoate, an intraluminal agent. The largest abscess was drained acutely under ultrasound guidance. The portal vein occlusion was treated medically without the use of anticoagulation. A repeat ultrasound at 6 weeks posttreatment confirmed patency of the portal vein indicating spontaneous recanalisation with antimicrobial therapy alone. BACKGROUND

KEYWORDSAmebiasis; Abscess; Pseudoaneurysm.Abstract Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of amebic or pyogenic liver abscesses, and it is generally diagnosed because of hemobilia due to rupture of the aneurysm into the biliary tract. The authors describe a case of vascular complication in a patient affected by amebic liver abscess. Pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed and resolved without hemobilia.Sommario Gli pseudoaneurismi dell'arteria epatica sono una complicanza molto rara degli ascessi epatici amebici e da piogeni e la maggior parte vengono diagnosticati perché si complicano con emobilia.Gli autori descrivono un caso di complicanza vascolare in un paziente affetto da ascesso amebico del fegato diagnosticato e risolto senza la rottura nelle vie biliari. ª
