This study aimed to describe the findings of double superior mesenteric veins (SMVs), a rare anatomical variation, on multidetector computer tomography (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images.
We describe the case of a 34-year-old male, who underwent both MDC and MRI examinations of the upper abdomen because of liver cirrhosis. MDCT and MRI angiography images of the upper abdomen revealed an anatomic variation of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV), the double SMVs.
The double SMVs are a congenital abnormality without potential clinical manifestation. Physicians need to be aware of this anatomical variation during abdominal surgery to avoid iatrogenic injury.
本研究旨在描述肠系膜上静脉双支(一种罕见的解剖变异)在多排螺旋计算机断层扫描(MDCT)和磁共振成像(MRI)图像上的表现。
我们描述了一名34岁男性的病例,该患者因肝硬化接受了上腹部的MDCT和MRI检查。上腹部的MDCT和MRI血管造影图像显示了肠系膜上静脉(SMV)的解剖变异,即双支SMV。
双支SMV是一种先天性异常,无潜在临床表现。腹部手术期间医生需要知晓这种解剖变异以避免医源性损伤。
