Abstract
We present the case of a 16-year old woman with Alagille's syndrome, who had upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to rupture of esophageal varices secondary to presinusoidal portal hypertension without liver fibrosis. Portal thrombosis is a manifestation previously unreported in association to this syndrome.
