Idiopathic portal hypertension is a rare clinical syndrome which may be associated with a spectrum of histological lesions, including nodular regenerative hyperplasia and incomplete septal cirrhosis. Here, we report eight adult patients with idiopathic portal hypertension who experienced an unusually severe clinical evolution characterized by the development of progressive hepatic failure requiring orthotopic liver transplantation. Our aims are: (a) to stress the distinctive clinical presentation of these patients, (b) to describe their biological and histopathological features, and (c) to evaluate the results of orthotopic liver transplantation in this rare indication.
