ObjectiveTo summarize the related researches of pancreatic portal hypertension (PPH) in recent years in order to diagnose and treat the disease more timely and effectively. MethodThe literatures relevant to etiology, mechanism, clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and treatment of PPH were searched and reviewed. ResultsThe occurrence of PPH was related to its anatomical structure. Its clinical manifestations were not characteristic, but it was not difficult to diagnose by the assistance of auxiliary examinations. The treatment of PPH was mainly targeted at pancreatic diseases and portal hypertension, and the treatment targeted at portal hypertension was performed according to the situation with or without gastrointestinal bleeding. So, in clinical practice, different treatment measures should be taken according to different situations.
