CT angiogram showing an extra-hepatic portosystemic shunt (portophrenic) associated with a reduction in liver size. The aorta (arrowhead in [a]), caudal vena cava (closed arrow in [a]), hepatic vein (which is reduced in size, open arrow in [a]) and abnormal shunting vessel (double arrow in [a]) are evident. In (b) the liver is reduced in size (arrowed). Portosystemic shunts represent the most important metabolic cause of reactive epilepsy in juvenile dogs
