A 69-year-old male patient performed Upper GI endoscopy and triphasic MDCT scanning for chronic liver disease and HFL to identify varices and HFL scanning. A Upper GI endoscopy shows no esophageal varices. Axial CT shows; B multiple paraesophageal varices (solid arrows), C left gastric (coronary) varix (solid arrow), D retrogastric (adventitial) varices (solid arrows), E, F normal splenic vein diameter (solid arrow), dilated and tortuous lienorenal shunt (round mark). G Coronal CT shows a lienorenal shunt (solid arrow). H Axial CT of the lienorenal shunt (solid arrow) and the left renal vein (dashed arrow). I Coronal CT shows a gastrorenal shunt (solid arrow) and the left renal vein (dashed arrow). J Axial CT shows a hepatic focal lesion with rapid enhancement in the arterial phase
