Characteristics of paraesophageal varices: A study with 64-row multidetector computed tomography portal venography

Figure 1 A: Para-EV originated from the posterior branch of the left gastric varices (arrow); B: Circuitous morphological para-EV (arrow); C: Para-EV in reticulatous pattern (short arrow), located at lower section of the esophagus (arrowhead), communicating to hemiazygous vein (long arrow); D: Para-EV communicating to peri-EV (arrow); E: Para-EV communicating to peri-EV directly (arrow); F: Para-EV communicating to peri-EV with peripheral circuitous appearance (arrow); G: Para-EV communicating to peri-EV (short arrow) and the hemiazygous vein (long arrow); H: Para-EV communicating to the subphrenic vein (arrow).
