Portal venous system evaluation is required in many clinical circumstances, as substantial morbidity and mortality can be associated with a spectrum of portal vein abnormalities. Portal venous system pathologies can be congenital or acquired, and the knowledge of their imaging appearances will allow for a confident diagnosis and appropriate treatment options. In addition, a firm understanding of anatomical variants is important for planning surgical procedures and percutaneous interventions of the liver. This article will review various imaging appearances of portal venous systems abnormalities.
