Abstract |
1. | 1. A case of healed rheumatic heart disease with adherent pericardium and a clinical picture of portal obstruction is reported. Death occurred from a ruptured retroperitoneal varix with hemoperitoneum. Active pulmonary tuberculosis was an incidental finding at necropsy. |
2. | 2. The mechanism of so-called “cardiac cirrhosis” and its relation to the production of a picture of portal obstruction are discussed. |
