  • Title: Intrahepatic spontaneous portosystemic venous shunt: value of color and power Doppler sonography.

    Journal: J Clin Ultrasound; 2000 Jan; 28(1):47-50. PubMed ID: 10602106.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous portosystemic venous shunts (SPVSs) within the hepatic parenchyma are rare. Fewer than 50 cases have been reported, and most of them were diagnosed by angiography. We present a case of SPVS diagnosed by color Doppler sonography in a 5-year-old boy admitted for bleeding due to rupture of esophageal varices. Conventional color and power Doppler sonography as well as CT showed a large shunt between the posterior branch of the right portal vein and the inferior vena cava. We believe that accurate diagnosis and follow-up of SPVS can be done with color Doppler sonography without resorting to angiography.
