S.K. Yadav S. Saksena Anshu Srivastava Arti Srivastava V.A. Saraswat M.A. Thomas R.K.S. Rathore R.K. Gupta BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR imaging and H-MR spectroscopy changes are well reported in cirrhotic patients, whereas they are inadequately reported in EHPVO. The aim of this study was to investigate age-related changes in brain MR imaging and metabolite profile in EHPVO with and without MHE and to explore any correlation of imaging and H-MR spectroscopy parameters with blood ammonia.

Brain MR imaging and 1H-MR spectroscopy changes in patients with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction from early childhood to adulthood.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR imaging and (1)H-MR spectroscopy changes are well reported in cirrhotic patients, whereas they are inadequately reported in EHPVO. The aim of this study was to investigate age-related changes in brain MR imaging and metabolite profile in EHPVO with and without MHE and to explore any correlation of imaging and (1)H-MR spectroscopy parameters with blood ammonia.

متن کاملVery Early Presentation of Extrahepatic Portal Vein Obstruction Causing Portal Hypertension in an Infant: Uncertainties in the Management and Therapeutic Limitations
Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction, although rare in children, is a significant cause of portal hypertension (PHT) leading to life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding in the pediatric age group. PHT may also lead to other complications such as hyperesplenism, cholangyopathy, ascites, and even hepatopulmonary syndrome and portopulmonary hypertension that may require organ transplantation. He...
متن کاملSplenic-intrahepatic left portal shunt in an adult patient with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction without recurrence after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
In the last decade, a superior mesenteric-intrahepatic left portal shunt (Rex shunt) has been reported for successful management of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction in children. However, in adults, a mesocaval shunt has been generally performed for the surgical management of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction because of the complexity of the underlying disease and the difficulty of the su...
متن کاملVariant meso-Rex bypass with transposition of abdominal autogenous vein for the management of idiopathic extrahepatic portal vein obstruction: a retrospective observational study
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate whether variant meso-Rex bypass with transposition of abdominal autogenous vein can be used as an alternative treatment modality for selected patients with symptomatic extrahepatic portal vein obstruction. METHODS This was a retrospective review of six consecutive patients who received this alternative procedure for the treatment of symptomatic...
متن کاملUse of meso-Rex shunt with transposition of the coronary vein for the management of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction
The meso-Rex shunt is used to safely and effectively treat patients with portal hypertension due to extrahepatic portal vein obstruction. In the standard meso-Rex shunt technique, the patient's own internal jugular vein is used as a vascular autograft. Inevitably, such a procedure requires neck exploration and sacrifice of the internal jugular vein. Here, we present a case of a 20-year-old man ...
