The diagnosis of fifteen patients with hepatic veno-occlusive disease
Abstract：Objective To discuss clinical experiences in the diagnosis of fifteen patients with hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD). Methods The clinical data from 15 patients with hepatic veno-occlusive disease were analysed retrospectively. Results According to the results of the imaging examination and the clinical data, the CT scans showed increased liver volume and homogeneously or inhomogeneously decreased liver parenchyma density, and the enhancement scans showed map -shaped enhancement, especially in the portal phase. The hepatic veins and the hepatic segment of the inferior vena cava appeared thinner, and the hepatic vein could not be seen clearly. The characteristic histological changes included hepatic congestion, sinusoidal dilatation, and hepatocyte necrosis. Conclusion Liver biopsy is significantly valuable in the assessment of HVOD. Dynamic enhanced CT is an efficient method for the diagnosis of hepatic veno-occlusive disease.
