Abstract
Late portal vein thrombosis of liver grafts is uncommon and is usually revealed by variceal bleeding. We herein report a case of thrombosis discovered in an adult 10 months after liver transplantation, due to s tenosis of the portal vein by extrinsic compression, probably secondar y to a biopsy-induced hematoma. Development of venous collateral circu lation allowed for normal function of the liver graft.
