Portal vein thrombosis is one of the most serious complications after liver transplantation. It is important to determine the age of the thrombus for management of portal vein thrombosis. We present a case report of histologically confirmed heterogenous fresh portal vein thrombus which was depicted heterogenous high signal intensity on magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging. The sequence may be a useful imaging tool for detecting fresh thrombus components in the portal vein thrombosis.
