Abstract
Pylephleblitis is a rare condition and difficult to diagnosis because it does not have specific signs and symptoms. The pathology is infective thrombophleblitis of portal vein. Most of etiology is secondary to intra-abdominal infection. The most important point in diagnosis is an intensive observation in intra-abdominal infection patients. Delayed in diagnosis and treatment can increase morbidity and mortality.
