Abstract EN
Pylephlebitis is defined as septic thrombophlebitis of the portal vein.
It is a rare but serious complication of an intraabdominal infection, more commonly diverticulitis and appendicitis.
It has an unspecific clinical presentation and the diagnosis is difficult.
The authors report a case of a 21-year-old man with acute appendicitis complicated by pylephlebitis.
The diagnosis was made with contrast enhanced CT.
