Abstract
A very unusual portosystemic shunt was identified using color flow Dop pler sonography in an adult male with Budd-Chiari syndrome and cirrhos is secondary to a hypercoagulability state. Hepatofugal blood flow was demonstrated between the middle hepatic vein and a recanalized paraum bilical vein, resulting clinically in prominent periumbilical veins. T he clinical and radiological features are described.
