Descripción
Sumario:Double portal veins are a duplication of the portal vein and normal portal vein with an accessory portal vein. We report a case of a 63-year-old asymptomatic female with double portal veins. There was fat accumulation observed in the area which was supplied by the first portal vein in normal position, and fatty sparing of the liver was observed in the area which was supplied by the second portal vein in the preduodenal position. The 2 portal veins were equal in size. Furthermore, the patient presented with multiple congenital anomalies, including double inferior vena cava, splenic lobulation, and accessory liver lobe. Therefore, double portal veins in our case were thought to be an incomplete duplication of the portal vein with multiple congenital anomalies.
