Abstract
Introduction: Hepatic arterioportal fistula is a rare but treatable condition that may worsen pre-existing portal hypertension in cirrhosis patients. Embolization is the treatment of choice. Case Presentation: A 60-year-old woman with a 6-year history of liver cirrhosis presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and an impaired level of consciousness. Endoscopic examination revealed large fundal varices. Computed tomography angiography of the abdomen revealed an incidental arterioportal fistula without prior history of abdominal trauma or liver procedure.
