Conclusions
Multidetector CT features of the presence of PSCVs, splenic size, and ascites are
accurate predictors of PTHN in either EVs presence or absence. MDCT can be an
excellent alternative for patients who are contraindicated for endoscopy. Moreover,
it can be potential screening tool for early detection of esophageal varices in very
early stage of chronic liver disease and in the early care of patient with varices.
MDCT remains the most applicable noninvasive diagnostic tool for patients with
portosystemic collaterals.
