A 16-year-old male patient with portal hypertension. ac Volume rendering and axial images of computed tomography arteriosplenography after contrast injection into the splenic artery allow to detect filling of oesophageal (b, arrowheads) and gastric (c, arrows) varices. Note the contrast enhancement of the spleen (black asterisk). df Volume rendering and axial images of computed tomography arterioportography after contrast injection into the superior mesenteric artery detect filling of the superior mesenteric vein (hashtag) and portal vein (open arrowhead) without any filling of oesophageal (e, arrowheads) or gastric varices (f, arrows). Note the absence of contrast enhancement of the spleen (white asterisk). Catheters placed in the superior mesenteric and splenic artery (double arrow). Portal vein (open arrowhead).
