[The Cruveilhier-von Baumgarten syndrome. Presentation of radiologic findings based on a case].
Marked portosystemic venous anastomosis of the parumbilical veins is referred to as the Cruveilhier-Baumgarten syndrome. Opening of these vessels has been described mainly in the sonographic literature. In this case report CT and MR findings are presented, which have been confirmed by angiography. This paper is intended to draw the radiologist's attention to dilatation of the parumbilical veins, which is a highly specific sign of portal hypertension resulting from intrahepatic blockage.
