Cavernous transformation of the portal vein (also called portal cavernoma) occurs when the native portal vein is thrombosed and myriads of collateral channels develop in the porta hepatis to bypass the occlusion. The currently accepted theory is that it develops as a sequelae of portal vein thrombosis.
