Figure Computed tomography with contrast of the abdomen (Panel A, transverse image) revealed splenomegaly, and splenic vein enlargement as evidence of portal hypertension. Magnetic resonance imaging with gadolinium (Panel B, coronal image) revealed splenomegaly, enlarged splenic and superior mesenteric veins, and periportal edema.
