4y MC Pug with protein‐losing enteropathy
and seizures. Images are ordered from cranial
to caudal. On portal‐phase angiography,
there is decreased size and a filling defect in
the portal vein (a: open arrow), with hepatic
arterial branches surrounding the vessel (a:
arrows). A more discrete thrombus is visible
in the distended portal vein, just caudal to the
porta hepatis (b: open arrow). Near the right
renal vein, there are multiple small, tortuous
vessels surrounding the cranial mesenteric
(a) CT+C, TP (b) CT+C, TP
artery (c,d: arrowheads), which represent
multiple extrahepatic shunts.
