The sinusoidal obstructive syndrome is a cause of post sinusoidal hepatic portal hypertension, which occurs because of hepatotoxic agents that damage the endothelium of the central venule, resulting in obstruction of the blood flow and congestion causing post sinusoidal portal hypertension. This pathology is very rare, and its main etiology is hematopoietic cell transplantation, although other etiologies have been described such as the use of hepatotoxic agents that include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and intake of alkaloids. The clinical presentation of these patients does not vary significantly with respect to the other causes of portal hypertension, reason why diagnostic images play a key role in the initial approach of these patients. We present the case of 16 years old patient with portal hypertension due to the consumption of alkyl nitrites.
