Abstract

Objective To explore MSCT findings of cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV). Methods 5 cases with CTPV proved by DSA or surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Results Direct CT findings included thinness or obstruction of the trunk and branches of portal vein (5 cases), portal vein tortuous and disorder (5 cases), and presence of multiple periportal vascular network (5 cases). Indirect CT findings included hepatic perfusion abnormal (5 cases), intestinal stasis (1 case), spleen enlarge (5 cases), ascites (4 cases). It also included the CT findings of the primary disease. Conclusion MSCT is important for the diagnosis of CTPV patients .
