VARIATION IN THE FORMATION OF PORTAL VEIN

Dr. Mrudula Chandrupatla

Abstract :

The knowledge about the formation and relations of the portal vein is important for surgeons and radiologists. The variations in the level of formation and the pattern of formation of portal vein might lead to confusions during radiological and surgical procedures. Here we present variations in the formation of the portal vein as found during the routine cadaveric dissections. The portal vein is formed normally by the union of splenic vein, superior mesenteric vein. The inferior mesenteric vein drains the blood from the major part of large intestine and terminates into splenic vein. The abnormal termination of this inferior mesenteric vein into superior mesenteric vein before the formation of portal vein was seen in the cadaver. Identification of these variations is useful in managing traumatic rupture of the mesentery
