ABSTRACT: We present an unusual case of extensive avascular malformations (AVMs) causing non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. This phenomenon, though previously described, is a rare clinical entity which, in the setting of life threatening portal hypertension, may require vascular decompression either by surgery or a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.
