Traumatic portal vein thrombosis is a rare cause of nonmalignant, noncirrhotic portal hypertension. We report a case of a 19-year old patient, who presented with variceal bleeding and splenomegaly. Diagnosis was based on the history of kickboxing and an otherwise negative etiological investigation. The patient underwent endoscopic therapy and portosystemic shunt operation (Warren-shunt) due to cavernous transformation and severe hypersplenism. Thereafter the patient remained asymptomatic.
