The clinical, functional, x-ray and morphological manifestations of hepatoportal sclerosis have been studied. It is assumed that involvement of the intrahepatic branches of the portal vein of the diffuse fibrosis type underlies hepatoportal sclerosis, a condition of unestablished etiology. Differential diagnosis should be made with the portal-hypertension pattern of congenital liver fibrosis and, according to the clinical manifestations, with liver cirrhosis.
