Caval–portal anastomosis via Sappey superior veins with pseudolesion in segment IV a of the liver: a case report

Authors: Dmitri Mihaylovich Gordionok, Sergey Dmitrievich Denisov

Abstract

The article describes unusual caval–portal anastomosis via paraumbilical veins, which has resulted in the hepatic pseudolesion around the falciform ligament. We present a case of a 41-year-old male diagnosed with superior vena cava syndrome. Abdominal CT identified hypervascular pseudolesion from the Sappey superior veins.
