	Portal vein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is formed by the superior mesenteric vein and splenic vein.
		The portal vein is the largest vein in the human body draining blood from the digestive system and its associated glands.
		Increased blood pressure in the portal vein, portal hypertension, occurs in liver disease (mainly cirrhosis), and may lead to various complications (ascites, esophageal varices, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis).

	Text for Abdomen Module
		The portal vein is formed by the confluence of the inferior mesenteric, superior mesenteric, and splenic veins.
		The splenic vein is formed by several veins that drain the spleen at the hilum.
		Splenic vein thrombosis is a disease where there is occlusion of the splenic vein by a thrombus.

		The identification of an enlarged left gastroepiploic vein, without a recanalised umbilical vein, strongly suggests a diagnosis of SVT and not portal hypertension and is therefore useful for the differential diagnosis between these two vascular complications; this distinction is important, since their treatment differs totally [56].
		Alternatively, the splenic artery may be ligated away from the hilum at the upper border of the pancreas (supragastric approach to control the proximal splenic artery), provided the associated chronic pancreatitis does not prevent this from being done safely [51].
		Splenic vein thrombosis secondary to focal pancreatitis diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasonography.

		The differential diagnosis of enlarged hepatic artery includes an occluded or interrupted portal vein, a surgical portosystemic shunt, reversal of flow in the portal vein, parenteral feedings in newborns, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, cirrhosis or hepatic diseases associated with alcohol, vascular hepatic tumors, and primary hepatic artery dissection.
		The enlarged umbilical vein is usually solitary, originating in the left portal vein, which courses inferiorly through the falciform ligament and along the anterior abdominal wall to the umbilicus, seen on longitudinal or transverse scans.
		The portal vein is punctured directly and replaced by a guidewire/catheter, and contrast material is injected into the splenic vein and/or the superior mesenteric vein, depending on the clinical setting.

		Normally, slow unidirectional flow is revealed in the splenic veins directed from the smallest intra-parenchymal branches towards the bigger ones.
		In dogs suffering from isolated splenic torsion, the lack of blood flow is expected in the dilated parenchymal splenic veins (3).
		Probably, the lack of thrombus formation in the splenic veins and the low degree of the torsion of the splenic pedicle made the spontaneous recovery possible.

	Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine: A histopathologic study of localized portal hypertension as a ...
		In the histopathologic examination of the splenic vein, we evaluated whether phlebosclerosis presented intimal thickening of the vein and whether organized thrombus presented occlusion or stenosis of the venous lumen with neovascularization.
		Involvement of the splenic vein was observed in 9 of the 11 cases; organized thrombus formation (with recanalization) was seen in five cases (Fig 3) and phlebosclerosis in four (Fig 4), but no changes were recognized in the remaining two cases.
		This result suggests that the splenic vein deformation might be associated with fibrosis or phlebosclerosis of the splenic vein, and that advanced occlusion may occur due to organized thrombus formation.

		The splenic vein accompanies the splenic artery and drains the spleen It receives branches from the short gastric, left gastroepiploic, pancreatic and inferior mesenteric veins.
		The inferior mesenteric vein drains the transverse, descending and sigmoid colon and the rectum.
		The most important of these are the anastomoses with the azygos veins around the lower esophagus between the esophageal veins and the left gastric vein, and at the lower end of the rectum between the superior rectal vein and middle and inferior rectal veins.

		The splenic vein hypertension is either due to intrahepatic disease (e.g., cirrhosis) or extrahepatic disease (such, as portal or splenic vein thrombosis).
		Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is being increasingly identified as a cause of abdominal pain as a result of widespread use of ultrasound for assessing the cause of abdominal symptoms.
		In a study from PGI Chandigarh, the PVT with patent splenic vein was found in 66 percent of cases and total block in 29 percent of cases.

		Opacification of the splenic vein is abnormal and indicates hepatofugal flow in this vessel.
		Despite hepatopetal flow in the portal vein, the hepatic parenchyma is not perfused by splanchnic venous blood because portal venous inflow is completely shunted to the paraumbilical vein.
		However, flow in the boundary layer (adjacent to the wall of the portal vein) is shown as red signal, which implausibly indicates flow in a direction opposite to that of flow in the central lumen.

		Pathophysiology: Cavernous transformation of the portal vein, that is, the development of periportal collaterals, occurs with long-standing PVT due to the development of multiple small vessels in and around the recanalizing or occluded main portal vein.
		Anatomy: The portal vein forms behind the neck of the pancreas with the union of the splenic and superior mesenteric veins.
		Esophageal varices that consist of dilated submucosal veins in the lower esophagus occur chiefly as a consequence of portal hypertension, mostly in cirrhosis.
