To the Editor, Portal vein aneurysm is a focal dilatation of the portal venous system. It can be in a fusiform or saccular configuration. Portal vein aneurysm is a very rare but an important condition. We reported here a case with portal vein aneurysm that was asymptomatic and had no signs suggestive of portal hypertension. A 66-year-old female was admitted to department of gastroenterology for dyspepsia lasting for a long time and no signs suggestive of portal hypertension. For investigation of the gastrointestinal system, initial diagnostic test, abdominal ultrasonography was performed. During ultrasonography, portal vein aneurysm was incidentally detected. In Color-Doppler sonography, it has been screened that, regarding blood flow, lumen of the aneurysm was fulfilled totally.
