摘要：

Essential thrombocytosis is associated with gastrointestinal (GI) vascular thrombosis. Sinistral portal hypertension (left-sided portal hypertension) due to splenic vein thrombosis can lead to isolated gastric varices and should be suspected in a patient with obscure GI bleeding with normal liver function. This case reviews the challenges presented in diagnosing isolated gastric varices due to splenic vein thrombosis through radiologic or endoscopic studies. Unrevealing radiologic or endoscopic studies does not rule out splenic vein thrombosis, which should he suspected in a patient with essential thrombocytosis and obscure GI bleeding.
