Color Doppler sonography of vascular malformations of the liver.
Nine cases of intrahepatic vascular malformations diagnosed using color Doppler sonography are described. These consisted of six cases of intrahepatic portal-hepatic venous shunts and three cases of arteriovenous fistulas. Among these is a case of multiple intrahepatic portal-systemic shunts. The sonographic findings and theories explaining the formation of vascular malformations in the liver are discussed.
