Portal biliopathy is a term to describe the spectrum of abnormalities of the entire biliary tract or gallbladder associated with portal hypertension. The most common cause of portal biliopathy is extra-hepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO). We report a case of patient with portal biliopathy presenting with bleeding varices.
