Visceral venous aneurysms are exceedingly rare clinical entities reported in the literature. Venous aneurysms are usually acquired in origin, with most often portal hypertension as the underlying pathology. Most venous aneurysms are incidental findings on imaging.

However, no clear guidelines exist regarding the management of portal venous aneurysms as most of the data is available only from case reports.
