ABSTRACT
Idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) is a rare disorder which is clinically characterized by portal hypertension, splenomegaly, hypersplenism and the absence of liver cirrhosis. Patients with IPH have massive splenomegaly leading to increased portal venous flow and subsequent portal hypertension. In selected IPH patients with splenomegaly and hypersplenism, splenectomy can be regarded as an effective treatment protocol for decreasing portal hypertension. We report a case of a 44-year-old woman who was diagnosed with IPH accompanied by splenomegaly and hypersplenism. She underwent laparoscopic splenectomy and clinical symptoms and hypersplenism resolved. Our study shows that laparoscopic splenectomy can be considered as a procedure for treating patients with splenomegaly and hypersplenism due to IPH.
