Pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension (PSPH) is a clinical syndrome resulting from pancreatic disease that blocks splenic vein return, which includes acute and chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic tumors, and iatrogenic factors related to pancreatic surgery. Most PSPH patients present with isolated gastric varices, splenomegaly and hypersplenism, with normal liver function, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by varices in the fundus of the stomach is the most serious clinical manifestation. The treatment of PSPH can be divided into the treatment of portal hypertension in the spleen and stomach region, including close follow-up, medication, endoscopic therapy, splenic artery embolization and splenectomy, etc. The primary diseases of pancreas are mainly treated for acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic tumor. In particular, PSPH related to pancreatic surgery should be concerned.
