  • Title: [Color-coded doppler sonographic demonstration of intrahepatic venous collaterals in Budd-Chiari syndrome].
    Author: Steingruber IE, Bodner G, Czermak B, Hochleitner B, Jaschke W.
    Journal: Ultraschall Med; 2001 Feb; 22(1):55-9. PubMed ID: 11253557.
    Abstract:
    By means of colour Doppler ultrasound, veno-venous shunts were found in 3 cases, leading to the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari Syndrome. Pulsed and colour Doppler ultrasound showed a reduction in venous blood flow and the reversal of blood flow in the venous collaterals. Venous spectral Doppler wave forms in the veno-venous shunts were flattened and aphasic in all cases. Sonographic findings were confirmed by cavography. Our cases show that pulsed and colour Doppler ultrasound are a valuable tool in the initial diagnosis of veno-venous shunts associated with Budd-Chiari Syndrome.
