Rare spontaneous intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in hepatitis B-induced cirrhosis: A case report

Figure 1 Ultrasonography revealed a spontaneous intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. A: The branch of the right portal vein connects to the inferior vena cava through (arrow); B: The extrahepatic venous plexus showed turbulent spectrum locally. IVC: Inferior vena cava.

Figure 2 Abdomen enhanced computed tomography revealed a spontaneous intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. A: The right branch of portal vein (PV) was thick and showed vermicular dilatation vein cluster (arrow); B: The left branch of PV was thin and occluded (arrow); C: The right branch of PV connected with inferior vena cava (arrowhead), extrahepatic dilatation and distortion of blood vessels (arrow).

Figure 3 Abdomen enhanced computed tomography revealed a spontaneous intrahepatic portosystemic shunt at sagittal and coronal position. A: The right branch of portal vein (PV) shunt out of the liver to communicate with inferior vena cava (IVC) (arrow) at sagittal position (black arrow); B: The right branch of PV shunt out of the liver to communicate with IVC (arrow) at coronal position.
