Diagnosis is difficult and requires a high index of suspicion, especially in patients presenting with gastrointestinal bleed in the presence of splenomegaly and normal liver function tests.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A 64 year old male presented with haematemesis and melaena. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed the presence of antral erosions in the stomach and fundal varices. A computerised tomography scan of abdomen confirmed the presence of a diaphragmatic tear and the spleen to be lying in the left hemi thorax. The appearances of the splenic vein on the scan were consistent with thrombosis.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Left sided portal hypertension as a result of isolated splenic vein thrombosis secondary to trauma is rare. The unusual presentation of our case, splenic herniation into the left hemithorax, causing fundal varices leading to upper gastrointestinal bleed 28 years after the penetrating injury, makes this case most interesting. We believe that this has not been reported in literature before.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-230x-6-38","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,11,29]],"date-time":"2006-11-29T08:05:17Z","timestamp":1164787517000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Post traumatic intra thoracic spleen presenting with upper GI bleed! \u2013 a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Deepak","family":"Hariharan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rishi","family":"Singhal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sonali","family":"Kinra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Chilton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,11,28]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"182_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1159","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01317093","volume":"29","author":"U Angeras","year":"1984","unstructured":"Angeras U, Almskog B, Lukes P, Lundstam S, Weiss L: Acute gastric haemorrhage secondary to wandering spleen.
