Congenital or idiopathic hepatic vascular malformations: CT findings.

OBJECTIVE

Five CT studies in three patients with congenital or idiopathic hepatic vascular malformations were reviewed.

CONCLUSION

Consistent findings included direct visualization of the abnormal vessels, hepatomegaly, and changes of fibrosis. Dual-phase helical CT in two patients also revealed arteriovenous shunting. One patient had growth of the malformation over 7 years.
