Abstract.
Extrahepatic portosystemic shunt usually occurs secondary to severe portal hypertension, and it is rare to encounter it in patients without portal hypertension. We report herein a large extrahepatic portosystemic shunt between the left gastric vein and left renal vein without portal hypertension in which color Doppler sonography was useful not only for detection but evaluation of the effect of embolization.
