The liver was mild to moderately subnormal in size however a 0.8cm wide looping gastroazygos shunt was noted deriving from the region of the portal vein prior to hilus continuing dorsally bypassing the vena cava and the aorta and entering into the region of azygos vein in a slight tortuous manner near the diaphragmatic inlet. The widest point of this shunt was 1.05cm however it was approximately 0.8cm at the area where it meets the portal vein. The vena cava measured 0.7cm as did the aorta in the same region. The residual portal vein measured 0.35cm. The portal vein prior to the shunt measured 0.7cm. The left lobes of the liver appeared atrophied. The right medial aspect of the liver created a nodular hepatoma type projection of the liver lobe likely secondary to vascular anomaly. Biopsies could be performed at the time of surgery.
