A 69-year-old man with no history of liver disease presented with massive ascites. Imaging demonstrated diffuse wall thickening of the entire aorta, renal pelvis, and ureters along with an enlarged main portal vein, portosystemic collaterals, and peritoneal thickening concerning for large vessel vasculitis. Liver biopsy was consistent with obliterative portal venopathy. The patient was started on corticosteroid therapy with improvement in his ascites. This case study reveals a rare association between vasculitis and portal-sinusoidal vascular disease and idiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertension, highlighting the heterogenous clinical presentation of this disease entity.
