Portal vein thrombosis following percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography-An unusual presentation of Prothrombin (Factor II) gene mutation

Figure 2 Contrast-enhanced computed tomography images before the percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography demonstrate a patent Segment VIII portal vein branch that developed localized portal vein thrombosis after the procedure. A: A coronal reformatted image from a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) image demonstrates that the portal vein branches (white arrow) to Segment VIII are patent; B: A coronal reformatted images from the contrast-enhanced CT scan performed when the patient presented to the emergency room 48 h after the percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) procedure demonstrates thrombosis of a segmental and several subsegmental portal vein branches (white arrow) in Segment VIII, in the same location where the PTC was performed.
