Anomalous portal venous connection - what does this mean
Anomalous portal venous connection is a congenital condition that occurs when the portal vein, which is responsible for carrying blood from the gastrointestinal tract to the liver, is connected abnormally to other veins in the abdomen, such as the splenic vein, the superior mesenteric vein, or the inferior vena cava. this can cause a variety of symptoms, such as abnormal liver function, an enlarged spleen, and portal hypertension.
What happens during the disease - anomalous portal venous connection
Anomalous portal venous connection is a congenital condition in which there is an abnormal connection between the portal vein and another vein, usually the inferior vena cava, leading to an increase in portal venous pressure. this increased pressure can lead to portal hypertension, which can cause liver damage, varices, and other complications. in some cases, the increased pressure can also cause a shunt between the portal vein and the systemic circulation, leading to systemic venous congestion, which can cause systemic symptoms such as fatigue, edema, and ascites.
