Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) has been reported in many patients with and without liver cirrhosis. The portal vein is a rare site of thrombosis, and various conditions can predispose an individual to PVT. Among those conditions, hereditary thrombophilia has been increasingly reported recently. We herein report the case of a non-cirrhotic 30-year-old man who developed acute PVT with hereditary antithrombin deficiency. Antithrombin (AT) replacement therapy was required along with heparin. Given our experience with this case, we believe that a screening test for prothrombotic disorders, such as AT deficiency, should be considered in cases of PVT.
