Abstract
Intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt is a rare disease and can be the cause of hepatic encephalopathy. We reported here radiological findings of five cases. Abdominal ultrasonography showed lobulated or tubular anechoic structures communicating with hepaticveins (or IVC) and portalveins. Enhanced CT scans showed high density areas which communicated with hepaticveins (or IVC) and portalveins, and densities of these areas were identical to that of the vascular structure. Color doppler sonography and MRI were also useful imaging modalities.
