Axial computed tomography (CT) scan (portal venous phase) shows multiple small abscesses throughout both lobes of the liver. Transient hepatic attenuation differences (THAD) due to left portal vein thrombosis were well visualized. Note the normal-appearing spleen.

His CT study showed multiple small liver abscesses, left portal vein thrombosis, and cavernous transformation of the portal vein (Figures 1 and 2).
Axial computed tomography (CT) scan (portal venous phase) shows thrombosed left portal vein (arrow). Multiple small periportal vessels, which represent dilated collateral veins, which is the so-called cavernous transformation. Left portal vein thrombosis caused transient hepatic attenuation differences (THAD) between the left and right lobes of the liver.
