Core Tip

Core tip: Little is known regarding the prognostic factors of non-malignant and non-cirrhotic patients with portal cavernoma. We conducted a retrospective single-center study of 64 patients admitted to our department between July 2002 and June 2010 to evaluate this issue. Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that the presence of ascites was an independent prognostic factor of non-malignant and non-cirrhotic patients with portal cavernoma.
