The AA report a clinical case of Portal Hypertension with a long period of survival, more than 12 years, during which it was not possible to clarify the etiology. The presence of chronic ethylism conditioned the attribution of the etiology to a chronic alcoholic hepatopathy, but a hepatic biopsy denied that cause.

The AA broach the causes, the means of diagnosis and the therapeutics of this syndrome and conclude that the etiological diagnosis of any Portal Hypertension must be done exhaustively, using all the available means, so that effective therapeutics can be achieved.
