Abstract:
Portal venous aneurysms are rare and are usually discovered as incidental findings on abdominal imaging studies. Although most are asymptomatic, they may occasionally cause symptoms of compression of an adjacent structure, thrombosis, or bleeding. Treatment is usually not necessary and conservative follow-up is suggested. We present four patients with portal system aneurysms. One patient had a 10.5 cm thrombosed aneurysm, one had a right 3.5 cm intrahepatic portal aneurysm, one patient had a symptomatic 4 cm splenic artery aneurysm, which was repaired, and one patient had a 4 cm aneurysm at the confluence of the splenic and portal veins.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
