It is localized in the mesenterial adipose tis- sue, which lies in the folds of the mesenterial fan, and crosses the horizontal portion of the duo- denum, reaching the portal trunk directly. It receives blood from the intestinal mesenteric veins and the ileo-colic, middle colic, and pancreaticoduodenal veins 16 Venous Portal Circle 113 Splenoportal venous axis Splenic vein a Pancreas Inferior vena cava Abdominal Splenic vein aorta b Left portal branch Portal vein Superior mesenteric vein Inferior mesenteric vein c Fig. 16.2 a The splenic vein is the third branch of the portal trunk and arises from the splenic hilum. b It horizontally passes through the supramesocolic abdominal space and is confined by the gastric body and pancreatic body and tail. c The inferior mesenteric vein is the second branch of the por- tal vein but in some individuals drains directly into the splenic vein. It is smaller than the superi- or mesenteric vein and passes parallel to the homonymous artery. The left colic vein, sigmoid veins, and superior hemorrhoidal veins drain into the inferior mesenteric vein 114 C. Stavolo, R.

At the level of the mesenterial root, the superior mesenteric vein drains into the portal trunk, crossing the third portion of the duodenum and the uncinate process of the head of the pancreas. b Tribu- taries of the superior mesenteric vein are the intestinal-mesenteric, ileocolic, middle colic, and pan- creaticoduodenal veins. c The portal trunk divides into its main branches at the liver hilum: the right branch (larger than the left branch) supplies the right hepatic and caudate lobes, while the left branch supplies the lateral hepatic lobe 16 Venous Portal Circle 115 Left portal vein branch Main portal vein Right portal vein branch a Portal vein Inferior vena cava b Portal vein Gastric vein Right segmentary intraepatic branch Splenic vein c Fig. 16.4 a At the level of the porta hepatis, the portal vein is enveloped by the hepatoduodenal lig- ament, a wide peritoneal fold covering hepatic hilar structures. This ligament also envelops the he- patic artery, main biliary duct, and lymph nodes. At the hepatic hilum, the portal trunk divides in- to right and left branches. b The left and right portal branches form the main portal intraparenchy- mal vessels of the liver. At all sizes and subdivisions, branches of the hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile ducts pass in close proximity to one another. Interlobular branches of the hepatic artery and portal vein form hepatic sinusoids, which collect into central veins and finally into the supra- hepatic venous system. c Based on its arterial and portal vascular supply, the liver parenchyma is divided in eight segments, each drained by its own bile duct and hepatic vein branch.

Congenital absence of the portal vein, portal vein hypoplasia, portal vein thrombosis and portal collaterals are described. Portal collaterals are further discussed as high- and low-flow connections and categorized in hepatic arterioportal malformation, arteriovenous fistula, end-to-side and side-to-side congenital portosystemic shunts, acquired portosystemic shunts, cavoportal and porto-portal collaterals. Knowledge of different portal system anomalies helps understand the underlying physiopathological mechanism and is essential for surgical and interventional approaches. Keywords: portal system; portal vein; portosystemic shunt; portal hypertension; computed tomography 1. Introduction The portal venous system is essential for the maintenance of the liver mass and function in mammals. The portal system collects blood from major abdominal organs (i.e., gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, spleen) delivering nutrients, bacteria and toxins from the intestine to the liver. In addition, the portal blood carries approximately from one-half to two-thirds of the oxygen supply to the liver and specific hepatotrophic factors [1,2]. The portal blood is detoxified by the hepatocytes and then delivered into the systemic circulation via the hepatic veins and caudal vena cava [3].

Awareness of this uncommon 024-025. anatomy of the inferior mesenteric vein is important in planning a successful gastrointestinal surgery. Several variations of the inferior mesenteric vein have been previously described. However, this report presents a rare variation that has not yet been noted. In this case, the small inferior mesenteric vein drained into a Key Words: Inferior mesenteric vein; Marginal vein; Middle colic vein; Superior tributary of the marginal vein, which joined the superior mesenteric vein via mesenteric vein INTRODUCTION he portal venous system consists of four large veins: the hepatic portal, Tsplenic (SV), superior mesenteric (SMV) and inferior mesenteric (IMV). The SMV collects the venous return from the small intestine, stomach, pancreas, cecum, ascending colon and proximal portion of the transverse colon. The SMV tributaries include the small intestine, right gastro-omental, inferior pancreaticoduodenal, ileocolic, right colic, middle colic (MCV) and marginal (MarV) veins. The IMV receives the blood from the superior rectal, sigmoid and left colic veins, which cover the distal portion of the transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon and superior rectum. According to the description by Thompson in 1890, the portal vein tributaries are categorized into four types [1].

    Hepatic Portal System (Advanced) USMLE, Limited Edition > Gross Anatomy > Gross Anatomy Hepatic portal system • A special circulation system that transports venous blood from the digestive organs to the liver. • Transports blood from the stomach, spleen, pancreas, and small and large intestines to the liver. This distinct circulatory pathway exists to allow the liver to metabolize nutrients and toxins from blood that leaves the digestive organs. Primary tributaries of the hepatic portal vein: Superior mesenteric vein Drains tissues of the right side of the abdomen. - Ileocolic vein drains blood from the distal small intestine and the proximal large intestine - Right colic vein courses from the right side of the abdomen to drain blood from the large intestine - Middle colic vein drains blood from the large intestine. - Intestinal veins drain the jejunum and ileum of the small intestine. These drain into the left side of the superior mesenteric vein. - Pancreatic and duodenal veins - Right gastro-omental vein, which runs along the inferior border of the stomach (aka, greater curvature), drains into the superior mesenteric vein. • The "omental" portion of the gastro-omental name is derived from the greater "omentum," the apron-like fold of peritoneum that drapes over the intestines anteriorly. Splenic vein Drains structures on the left side of the abdomen. - Merges with superior mesenteric vein to form hepatic portal vein - Short gastric veins from stomach - Left gastro-omental vein, which courses along the inferior border of the stomach and meets the right gastro-omental vein. - Pancreatic veins - Inferior mesenteric vein Inferior mesenteric vein 1 / 2 Drains tissues of the lower left side of the abdomen into the splenic vein.
