Contrast-enhanced CT and liver surface nodularity for the diagnosis of porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder: A case-control study

Shantha Ram Valainathan et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that liver surface nodularity (LSN) and CT features are highly correlated with the diagnosis of Porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). A combination of LSN < 2.5 and normal-sized or enlarged segment IV strongly suggests PSVD in patients with signs of portal hypertension.

Liver Stiffness by Transient Elastography to Detect Porto-Sinusoidal Vascular Liver Disease With Portal Hypertension

Laure Elkrief et al.

Summary: This retrospective multicenter study evaluated the accuracy of transient elastography (TE-LSM) in discriminating between Porto-sinusoidal vascular liver disease (PSVD) and cirrhosis in patients with signs of portal hypertension. The study found that TE-LSM < 10 kPa strongly suggests PSVD, while PSVD is highly unlikely when TE-LSM is >20 kPa in patients with signs of portal hypertension.
