Abstract
The article presents a case of instrumental diagnosis of the left gastric vein aneurysm in a 57-year-old patient with portal hypertension (cirrhosis as an outcome of chronic viral hepatitis C with presence of gastro-esophageal varices grade 3). The left gastric vein aneurysm was detected by ultrasound and confirmed by contrast enhanced computed tomography.
