  • Title: Sonographic demonstration of Cruveilhier-Baumgarten (CB) syndrome. Problems of differential diagnosis and nomenclature.
    Author: Schulze PJ, Vogel HM.
    Journal: Eur J Radiol; 1982 Feb; 2(1):72-7. PubMed ID: 7084246.
    Abstract:
    The term "CB syndrome" comprises the presence of umbilical vein collateral circulation due to portal hypertension associated with cirrhosis or other recognizable structural anomalies of the liver. Usually the dilated remnant of the umbilical vein is the main collateral pathway. Demonstration of this structure not only indicates the presence of portal hypertension but also that the underlying obstruction is intra- or posthepatic rather than prehepatic. This paper reports sonographic visualization of CB syndrome in 23 patients with cirrhosis of the liver. Questions of differential diagnosis and nomenclature are discussed with respect to developmental and anatomical preconditions.
