Abstract
This report illustrates a case of portal vein thrombosis that develope d in the second trimester of pregnancy. The patient did not have any o f the known associations or predisposing factors for portal vein throm bosis or any Past medical history of thrombosis or bleeding disorders. Antepartum and postpartum laboratory studies showed no evidence of a coagulation disorder, therefore, it seems that the sole cause of this thrombotic event was the hypercoagulable state of pregnancy.
