Abstract

Color Doppler sonography was used to investigate the changes in intrahepatic portal hemodynamics in early stage hepatic abscesses (21 lesions). At time of patients' admission, 10 lesions measuring over 6 cm showed reverse flow from at least one of their corresponding segmental portal branches, but 11 lesions measuring 6 cm or less did not show this phenomenon. All portal branches with reverse flow eventually returned to a normal direction of flow after successful medication. In conclusion, a large early stage hepatic abscess may show temporary reverse portal flow on color imaging. Thus, a differential diagnosis of hepatic tumors with reverse portal flow should include early stage hepatic abscesses.
