The scan also showed intrahepatic biliary dilatation and an accompanying left hepatic artery aneurysm with associated outpouching of the right portal vein that likely represented a venous varix (Figure 1a). The MRA showed a lobulated area in the left lobe of the liver, which measured 3cm by 3cm, highly suggestive of a portal venous varix (Figure 1b).
