Measurement of splenic stiffness by 2D-shear wave elastography in patients with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction

Abstract

EHPVO is a vascular pathology with most patients showing splenomegaly and preserved liver function. Although, elastography of spleen has been shown to be useful in patients with cirrhosis for predicting portal hypertension, it does not seem to be helpful in patients with EHPVO.
