A 66-year-old male patient complained of chronic liver disease complicated by esophageal varices on follow-up with upper GI endoscopy. A Upper GI endoscopy shows obliterated esophageal varices. Axial CT shows; B no esophageal (obliterated) varices (solid arrow) but large tortuous paraesophageal varices (dashed arrows), C dilated tortuous left gastric (coronary) varices (solid arrow) and perigastric (adventitial) varices (dashed arrow), D perisplenic (hilar) collaterals (round region), E perisplenic collaterals with anterior border (round region), lateral border (solid arrows), and hilar (rectangular region). Coronal CT shows; F enlarged LS diameter of the spleen 18 cm. G Axial CT shows left supradiaphragmatic varices (solid arrows) and paraesophageal varices (rectangular region). H Coronal CT shows left supradiaphragmatic varices (solid arrow)
