Core Tip	Idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) is challenging to diagnose due to its rarity and non-specific clinical presentation. This report presents a case study of a 69-year-old female with recurrent hematemesis, initially misdiagnosed with viral hepatitis B cirrhosis. Subsequent evaluation revealed IPH with esophageal and gastric varices. The diagnostic challenge is compounded by the absence of specific biomarkers and imaging findings, making liver biopsy essential. Treatment primarily involves symptomatic management and endoscopic intervention. The patient demonstrated significant improvement following treatment, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis and tailored management. This case underscores the complexities of diagnosing and managing IPH, emphasizing the need for further research to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficacy in this rare disorder.
