Spontaneous portosystemic venous shunts (SPVSs) within the hepatic parenchyma are rare. Fewer than 50 cases have been reported, and most of them were diagnosed by angiography. We present a case of SPVS diagnosed by color Doppler sonography in a 5-year-old boy admitted for bleeding due to rupture of
## Abstract ## __Purpose__ Bβmode and color Doppler sonography were used to assess the incidence and clinical significance of spontaneous intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt in adults without detectable cause. ## __Methods__ A total of 25,579 adults without potential cause of intrahepatic po
We investigated the role of early portal hypotensive pharmacotherapy in preventing the development of portal-systemic shunting in a portal hypertensive model of chronic murine schistosomiasis induced by infecting C3H mice with 60 cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni.
