title: Intrarenal varices in portal hypertension: demonstration by color Doppler imaging.
abstract: The gray-scale ultrasonographic appearances of dilated intrarenal vascular structures may mimic peripelvic cysts or hydronephrosis. We report a patient with portal hypertension in whom color Doppler ultrasound was found to be a very practical imaging technique in demonstrating varices of the renal segmental veins.
