Portal hypertension are most caused by a cirrhotic liver (85%), there are only a few reports on non cirrhotic portal hypertension, mostly in Japan and India. We reported a case of non cirrhotic portal fibrosis in young male. Â The clinical complications of portal hypertension are variceal bleeding and pancytopenia due to hypersplenism. Variceal band ligation and splenectomy were performed. The patient showed good clinical response. Â Keywords: portal hypertension, non cirrhotic portal fibrosis, young male
