title: A case of extrahepatic portal vein aneurysm with massive thrombosis: diagnosis with reconstruction images from helical CT scans.
abstract: A patient with extrahepatic portal vein aneurysm with massive thrombosis, congenital in nature, is reported. Reconstructed images using curved reformation software and three-dimensional images from helical CT were useful to delineate the shape of the portal vein aneurysm and extension of the thrombi.
