Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of portal vein thrombosis. Findings on an ultrasound diagnostic of portal vein thrombosis include echogenic material obstructing lumen of vessel, complete or partial absence of flow in portal vein, and collateral circuits by-passing the obstructed vessel.
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of portal vein thrombosis. Findings on an ultrasound diagnostic of portal vein thrombosis include:[1][2][3]
- Echogenic material obstructing lumen of vessel
- Complete or partial absence of flow in portal vein
- Collateral circuits by-passing the obstructed vessel (most typical form is cavernoma)
- Tangled tortuous vessels with irregular calibre (vessels include vasa vasorum of portal vein and the pericholecystic vessels
- Hyperechoic material within the portal vein, with distension of the portal vein and its tributaries
