Spontaneous portal-hepatic venous shunt via an intrahepatic portal vein aneurysm.
In this unusual case, a portal-hepatic venous shunt was first demonstrated as an abnormal lesion in the liver using a contrast-dynamic computed tomographic scan. It was subsequently shown by percutaneous transhepatic portography to be an intrahepatic portal vein aneurysm communicating with a hepatic vein.
