Abstract

We describe a case of systemic sclerosis (SSc) complicated with portal hypertensive ascites which did not improve with diuretics and ascitic drainage. When corticosteroid added, her ascites diminished dramatically. Though portal hypertension can be imputed to other causes, such as polycystic liver in this case, it can occur in limited SSc with positive anti-centromere antibody and respond to corticosteroid treatment.
