Abstract
Presentation of abdominal tuberculosis with portal hypertension is rare. We report a 25-year-old man with portal hypertension due to compression of the portal vein by tuberculous lymph nodes at the hepatic hilum. After antitubercular therapy, features of portal hypertension disappeared as the nodes regressed.
