The portal vein is a conduit that drains splanchnic flow to the liver, it can be occluded by different pathologies and its clinical presentation varies according to the cause of the obstruction. It is very important to differentiate portal thrombosis associated or not with cirrhosis, since its treatment and prognosis is different. Extrahepatic portal vein thrombosis (PEVT) is a condition of purely vascular origin, being the main cause of portal thrombosis in children and adults. We present three cases with meso-Rex shunt, with a 6-month follow-up.
