This patient had esophageal varices, portal gastropathy and hypersplenism with a significant splenomegaly A partial splenectomy with truncal partial gastric devascularization (ligature of right coronary-stomachic and gastroepiploic arteries and veins).

Authors considered that this is a good surgical alternative in patients presenting with prehepatic portal hypertension at any age.
