Portosystemic collateral formation in cirrhosis plays an important part in events that define the natural history in affected patients. A detailed understanding of collateral anatomy and hemodynamics in cirrhotics is essential to envisage diagnosis, management, and outcomes of portal hypertension. In this review, we provide detailed insights into the historical, anatomical, and hemodynamic aspects to portal hypertension and collateral pathways in cirrhosis with emphasis on the various classification systems.

Ectopic varices are defined as dilated portosystemic collateral veins in locations other than the gastroesophageal region. We present a case of recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding as the first manifestation of portal hypertension. We diagnosed ectopic duodenal varices without gastroesophageal varices on upper GI endoscopy and extrahepatic portal venous obstruction (EHPVO) on CT angiography and managed this case.

A 5-month old Caucasian dog was presented with a 20-day history of abdominal distention along with inappetance, depression and vomiting of 24-hour duration. Physical examination findings included depression, ascites, mild inspiratory dyspnea and dehydration. Clinicopathological evaluation revealed hyperammonemia, hypoalbuminemia, hyperbilirubinemia, hypoglycemia and hyponatremia. Μicrohepatia and free abdominal fluid was detected with abdominal ultrasonography. During exploratory laparotomy, multiple acquired portosystemic collateral vessels were found, indicative of portal hypertension, along with a small liver of normal color and texture. Liver histopathology included features consistent with liver hypoperfusion. These findings supported the diagnosis of primary portal vein hypoplasia with portal hypertension. The animal recovered uneventfully postoperatively and was discharged with diuretics, hepatoprotectants and a low-protein diet and remains healthy two years after diagnosis. This case underscores that a favorable prognosis may be anticipated in cases of primary portal vein hypoplasia with portal hypertension, thus, justifying the long-term conservative management instead of considering euthanasia.
