Sonographic detection of large spontaneous spleno-renal shunts and its clinical significance

Abstract: The ultrasonographic findings of large spleno-renal shunts seen in five patients with liver cirrhosis and confirmed by CT and/or portography, are described. These spleno-renal shunts were seen in the left inter- or subcostal sections as transonic, mass-like lesions located between the splenic hilum and the left kidney, and by continuous scanning, they were found to be part of a tortuous, large tubular structure. Oesophageal varices were absent or minimal in these patients, and none of them had ever bled.

“…When a systematic search is performed, 65-90% of the relevant portocaval collaterals can be identified by duplex imaging Takayasu et al 1984;Subramanyam et al 1983). Other collaterals including gastrorenal and splenorenal anastomoses and peripancreatic veins are less amenable to sonographic evaluation.…”

“…7 • 11 By identifying large perisplenic collaterals, CT and non-Doppler sonography can suggest the presence of a splenorenal shunt. 9 Doppler sonography is potentially more useful because it can assess flow direction and thus diagnose even morphologically small splenorenal shunts. Duplex Doppler sonography is accurate in evaluating the portal vascular anatomy and flow characteristics in patients with portal hypertension. '…”
