title: Intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt associated with a large abdominal tumour.
abstract: Intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt (IPSVS) is relatively uncommon, and is usually associated with chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis. We present a case of IPSVS that was considered to be caused by increased blood flow from a large abdominal tumour. The characteristic intrahepatic haemodynamics were demonstrated by CT angiography.
