Abstract

Objective To observe the Multi-slice CT angiography (MSCTA) findings and explore the clinical value of Protopathic Cavernous Transformation of the Portal Vein. Methods The Multi-slice CT angiography of six cases with CTPV confirmed by DSA or operation were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among 6 cases with PCTPV,4 cases revealed occlusion of the main branch of portal vein at the hepatic hilum,2 cases revealed occlusion of the common portal vein,and a masslike network of tortuous veins around the hepatic hilum and many small irregular veins radiating from the network to the liver were demonstrated.Conclusion The Multi-slice CT angiography plays an important role in the diagnosis and surgical management of PCTPV.
