PURPOSE: To establish the normal limits of portal vein diameter according to age, height and weight. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and sixty-eight healthy children, ages ranging from 1 month to 15 years were examined by ultrasound. Portal vein diameters at hepatic port, weight and height were recorded. RESULTS: A range of normal limits for portal veneous diameter according to age, weight and height are obtained and presented in tables. CONCLUSION: Knowing the normals for portal venous diameter in every age group in children is mandatory in differentiating disease. The tables according to age, weight and height will definitely be helpful in the work-up process. Copyright (c) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
