RÉFÉRENCES
INTRODUCTION
The portal hypertension syndrome (PHT) islinked
tothe increase of portal pressuresecondary toa block
in the portalarea.The natureand the seatof thisbloc
are notalways easy torecognize. Asamatterof fact,
the causesof PHT are numerous and vary from one
country tothe other.
InSouthAmerica, in Antillesand in Egypt, bilhar-
zia caused bySchistosomamansoni is the most fre-
quentcause[1] .
InIndia and FarEast countries(Japan, China,
Indochinese peninsula)the main causeresponsible for
PHT isbilharzia caused bySchistosomajaponicum
bilharsiosis[1] .
InIvory Coast,the main etiologiesarecirrhosis,
especiallyafterhepatitis,primary livercancerand
hepatosplenic bilharzia[12] .
InMali,studieshavebeen dedicated tocirrhosis[2,
3],to primary livercancer[4,5,6,7,8]and tobilhar-
zia[10].None of them mentioned the place of these
affectionsamong the causesof PHT in our country.
Our studyis thus of particularinterest.Itaimsatdeter-
mining the frequencyof PHT and its differentcauses.
