Portal vein thrombosis is a blood clot in the portal vein, the blood vessel that carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver. It can develop slowly and may be found unexpectedly on imaging. An MRI may show changes in the portal vein consistent with a clot. Finding a portal vein clot early may allow for treatment before it causes liver complications or bowel injury.
