Abstract
We describe four cases of portal vein aneurysm that were studied with ultra sonography, color Doppler, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imag ing as well as three-dimensional power Doppler. Three-dimensional ultrasono graphy showed the portal aneurysm and its relationship to its portal branch es in all patients and showed the portosystemic communication in three. In all cases, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the three-dimensional ultrasonographic findings.
