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
