Segmental portal hypertension is a rare pathologic condition, which produce gastric bleeding. Spleen vein thrombosis is more often caused by pancreatic disease (inflammations, tumors). Diagnosis is difficult to perform. Initial treatment is conservative. After successful conservative treatment early surgery should be planned. Unsuccessful conservative treatment indicates surgery. Splenectomy absolutely eliminates risk from rebleeding. Prognosis of these patients depends from etiology of pancreatic disease. We present a 46 old woman who successfully operated in our Department of Surgery due to massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by isolated portal hypertension.
