Imaging Findings
A B C
(A) Ultrasound image of the left axilla shows a large, multicystic, multiseptated structure (arrows). (B) T2-weighted coronal and axial MRI scans show
the same structure (arrows) with diusely intense cystic spaces and hypointense septations. (C) A drain was placed, 40 mL of proteinaceous uid was aspirated from the cysts (arrow), and 30 mL of doxycycline (10 mg/mL) was infused into the cystic spaces. The catheter was left to suction overnight and then removed. Axillary swelling resolved and no further treatment was required.
Dierential Diagnosis
Lymphatic malformation (LM): The most likely diagnosis given the clinical history and the multiseptated, cystic appearance on ultrasound and MRI scans.
Vascular malformations may have this appearance: To rule out this entity, Doppler ultrasound images would
show no ow, and infused MRI scans would show no
enhancement within the cystic spaces.
Essential Facts
LMs are categorized as simple, low-ow vascular malformations. Other anomalies in this category include capillary malformations and venous malformations (VMs).
• LMs are lined by a single layer of endothelium and further
classied by the size of their channels. Microcystic LMs
have a network of microscopic channels. Macrocystic LMs have larger channels and spaces, typically multiseptated.
LMs contain proteinaceous uid, lymphocytes, and erythrocytes. Lesions are often mixed and have both macrocystic and microcystic components.
• Imaging considerations:
◦ Doppler ultrasound is rst-line imaging for distinguishing
macrocystic LMs from VMs. Although both are low-ow
malformations, LMs usually have large, cystic spaces of
dierent sizes, multiple septations, intraluminal debris, and no discernable intraluminal ow.
◦ MRI can distinguish macrocystic and microcystic LMs
from VMs. Macrocystic LMs have cystic spaces that are nonenhancing within the lumen, and septations that
may enhance in rings and arcs. No ow voids are visible,
and spaces are hypointense on T1-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. Microcystic LMs are distinguishable from VMs by their typical lack of enhancement.
• Treatment considerations:
◦ LMs are candidates for interventional treatment if
they cause signicant deformity, repeated infections,
functional impairment, or pressure-associated tissue loss.
◦ Percutaneous sclerotherapy is rst-line therapy for
macrocystic components of LMs; limited reports describe its use to treat microcystic LMs.
◦ Other options include laser or radiofrequency ablation
and surgical resection. Limited studies of surgical resection show high recurrence and complication rates and poor cosmetic results.
• Percutaneous sclerotherapy: ◦ Individual, dominant cystic spaces are punctured under
ultrasound guidance and injected with contrast to determine size and intercyst communication. A needle or a small-caliber catheter can be used; the latter is useful to facilitate complete drainage prior to injection of the sclerosing agent.
◦ Agents for LMs include OK-432 (most common),
which is lyophilized powder of Streptococcus pyogenes incubated with benzylpenicillin, bleomycin, and doxycycline. Agents used to treat VMs have also been used successfully for LMs, including ethanol, sodium tetradecyl sulfate, and polidocanol.
◦ Sclerosing agent is injected to match the volume
removed from the LM, and in some cases, a pigtail catheter is left to suction larger spaces for a period of hours to days to facilitate complete obliteration.
◦ Follow-up surveillance with ultrasound is performed
every month, and repeat sclerotherapy is performed at the time of ultrasound if necessary. MRI may be necessary to follow up for larger, more extensive LMs.
◦ Clinical success of sclerotherapy for macrocystic LMs
ranges from 75 to 100%.
◦ Almost all complications are minor and include
local pain, blistering, ulceration, and cellulitis. Major complications are exceedingly rare when OK-432, bleomycin, and doxycycline are used for LM sclerotherapy, but they may include airway impairment (for neck lesions), skin necrosis, and nerve damage.
Pearls and Pitfalls
LMs that occur with Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome often
have components common to that condition, such as capillary malformations and VMs.
Microcystic LMs may be indistinguishable from
some VMs because both may have a network of very small channels that appears echogenic with no
detectable ow.

Imaging Findings
A B C
(A) Percutaneous nephrostomy was performed using a two-stick technique because of the lack of hydronephrosis. First, intravenous contrast (50 mL)
was injected. Then, a lower pole calyx was rapidly accessed under uoroscopic guidance (arrowhead). Continued injection of dilute contrast through that needle enabled partial distention of the collecting system and subsequent puncture of a second calyx suitable for catheter access (arrow). (B) Antegrade nephrostogram shows transection of the distal ureter (large arrow) with leakage of contrast and lling of a large collection (small arrows) separate from the urinary bladder (arrowhead). (C) After placement of a nephroureterostomy catheter for 4 weeks, antegrade nephrostogram shows an intact ureter without leakage or obstruction.
Dierential Diagnosis
Iatrogenic ureteral injury.
Essential Facts
• For most indications, retrograde endourologic access has
replaced percutaneous access as the rst-line therapeutic
or diagnostic option.
• Indications for percutaneous nephrostomy access: ◦ Relief of urinary obstruction ◦ Diagnostic evaluation of the urinary tract ◦ Therapeutic intervention ◦ Urinary diversion
• Urinary diversion: ◦ This is performed to drain urine and facilitate healing of
urinary tract leakage, stulas, and hemorrhagic cystitis.
◦ Retrograde diversion involves cystoscopic placement of
a plastic, double-J retrograde ureteral stent (RUS).
◦ Percutaneous options include nephrostomy (PCN),
nephroureterostomy (PCNU), and cystostomy catheters.
Ureteral leakage and stulas are treated using RUS as a
rst-line option in most institutions. If RUS fails, is not
feasible, or results in persistent leakage, percutaneous options are used.
• Ureteral injury: ◦ May be iatrogenic (80%) or traumatic. The majority
of iatrogenic injuries result from hysterectomy, other surgical procedures, and endourologic procedures.
◦ Early injury diagnosed within a few days of occurrence
is primarily surgically repaired.
◦ Delayed injury is often treated with a RUS. Complete
ureteral transection and large leaks require PCN placement to divert urine; smaller partial transections may heal with either RUS, PCN, or PCNU placement.
◦ Percutaneous urinoma drainage serves a dual purpose
to provide both drainage and a means for monitoring persistent leakage over time.
Urinary tract stulas are most commonly iatrogenic, with the majority caused by surgical procedures such as hysterectomy. Other causes include malignancy,
retroperitoneal and pelvic infection and inammation,
and radiation therapy.
Ureteral stulas:
◦ Common types include ureterovaginal, ureteroenteric,
and ureterocutaneous stulas.
◦ Treatment is usually RUS placement, but continued
leakage requires PCN placement.
Vesicular stulas:
◦ Common types include vesicovaginal and
vesicocutaneous stulas.
◦ Benign stulas may heal with bilateral PCN placement.
Antegrade, percutaneous, bilateral balloon occlusion of both ureters with PCN diversion has been described, with variable success.
◦ Malignant stulas without a surgical option may
require permanent occlusion of the ureters. The most common method is coil and Gelfoam packing,
which results in both mechanical and inammatory
obstruction. Lifelong PCNs are required after ureteral occlusion.
Pearls and Pitfalls
Hemorrhagic cystitis is caused by diuse vascular and
epithelial injury to the bladder due to radiation or cyclophosphamide therapy. Bilateral PCN placement is required for diversion when cystoscopic fulguration and irrigation techniques fail.
Both RUS and percutaneous diversion have been applied
to urinary tract leakage and stulas, but depending on
location, etiology, and local expertise, one option may be preferred.

Imaging Findings
A
(A) MR cholangiopancreatography shows diuse beading (arrow) and pruning (arrowhead) of the intrahepatic segmental bile ducts and nonvisualization
of the extrahepatic bile duct. (B) Even with diuse intrahepatic involvement (arrows), percutaneous biliary drainage (PTBD) was attempted to relieve complete obstruction of the extrahepatic bile duct (arrowhead). This application of PTBD is controversial because it may introduce infection and worsen obstruction in patients with diuse intrahepatic disease. (C) A biliary brush (arrow) was used to obtain a biopsy sample to exclude malignancy. (D) An internal–external biliary drain was placed with the distal end (arrow) coiled in the small bowel.
B
Dierential Diagnosis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC): The most likely
diagnosis, given the diuse intra- and extrahepatic duct
occlusions and irregularity.
Cholangiocarcinoma may present with common duct occlusion and diuse intrahepatic duct involvement: Biopsy was performed in this case to rule out malignancy.
Ascending cholangitis may mimic or be caused by primary sclerosing cholangitis: This entity typically occurs due to more distal duct obstruction.
AIDS-related cholangitis and/or cytomegalovirus infection: Can cause cholangiopathy identical to PSC.
Essential Facts
• PSC is a progressive biliary disease of unknown etiology (possibly autoimmune) causing cholestasis. More common in males (2:1), PSC may occur in children, but onset is more typically at 30 to 40 years of age.
• Pathophysiology is unclear, but autoimmune, genetic, and infectious etiologies have been postulated.
Associations include inammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis [UC] Crohn’s); 70% of patients with PSC have UC, and 4% of patients with UC have PSC.
Clinical presentation ranges from nonspecic fever, pruritus, pain, and weight loss; to signs and symptoms of biliary obstruction; to cirrhosis with portal hypertension; to liver failure. Gray stools and dark urine may result from renal,
rather than gastrointestinal, excretion of conjugated bilirubin.
• Cholangiography via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), or percutaneous cholangiography shows bile duct irregularity with
diuse foci of annular narrowing and dilation, producing
a beaded and pruned appearance. Both intra- and
extrahepatic ducts may be aected. May progress to
involve segmental and hilar bile ducts. ERCP and MRCP
are the rst-line and least invasive tests.
C
• CT scan or ultrasound image may show hepatomegaly and biliary obstruction in acute and subacute cases, or cirrhosis, splenomegaly, ascites, and varices in chronic cases.
• Biopsy (percutaneous or transjugular) of the liver often
results in nonspecic ndings but may exclude other
causes of biliary obstruction such as cholangiocarcinoma.
• Treatment options:
◦ Medical therapy has not been shown to prevent
disease progression. Choleretic agents (bile acids) may reduce cholestasis.
◦ Percutaneous or endoscopic balloon dilatation may buy
time to liver transplantation for focal intrahepatic or
extrahepatic PSC.
Endoscopic plastic stent placement or percutaneous
biliary drainage (PTBD) is an option for extrahepatic as
well as single dominant intrahepatic strictures.
◦ For diuse, predominantly intrahepatic PSC, PTBD is
often ineective and may actually worsen symptoms of
biliary obstruction.
◦ A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt
procedure may become necessary for cirrhosis-related portal hypertension and/or refractory ascites.
◦ For extrahepatic strictures, surgical
choledochoenterostomy or liver transplantation may become necessary for end-stage liver disease.
ü Pearls and û Pitfalls
8û Ascending cholangitis may occur as a repeated
complication of biliary obstruction due to PSC.
8û Cholangiocarcinoma occurs in 10 to 15% of patients
with PSC.
8û Diuse involvement of segmental and hilar ducts limits
the utility of focused treatment by balloon dilatation, drain placement, or plastic stent placement. Attempts at these interventions may result in systemic spread
of infection while exacerbating rather than alleviating
duct obstruction. Such cases typically require liver transplantation.

Imaging Findings
A B
(A) Sagittal, arterial-phase, contrast-enhanced CT scan shows a saccular outpouching of the celiac artery (arrow). (B) A selected superior mesenteric
arteriogram shows multiple aneurysms aecting primary branches (arrows) and diuse ectasia of the superior mesenteric artery.
Dierential Diagnosis
Segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM): Indicated by
predominantly celiac branch involvement.
Mycotic pseudoaneurysms: Typically saccular and multifocal.
Vasculitis such as giant cell or Takayasu’s arteritis: May present with aneurysms, but more commonly presents with involvement of the aorta and primary artery ostia.
Ehlers–Danlos syndrome and other collagen vascular diseases: Can present with vascular ectasia and aneurysms.
Essential Facts
SAM is a rare disorder, usually aecting the elderly, that is fatal in . 50% of patients in the acute phase.
• SAM has a predilection for the celiac artery distribution but also occurs in the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries and in the renal arteries.
• Patients present with abdominal pain from dissection or thrombosis with bowel ischemia; hypotension,
distension, or anemia may occur from gastrointestinal or peritoneal hemorrhage.
In the acute phase, SAM results in deposition of brin and collagen in the media without inammatory inltrate; in the late phase, there is reparative remodeling
of the vessel wall.
Angiography (CT angiography, MR angiography, or
conventional) during the acute phase of SAM shows segments of arterial dilation, narrowing, and beading.
Occlusion may result from thrombosis, dissection, or stricture. Aneurysms may rupture or erode into adjacent structures such as bile ducts, bowel, or peritoneum.
Imaging in the late phase of SAM (delayed 6 months) shows resolution of beading and dilation, often leaving a
smooth arterial wall.
• Treatment considerations: ◦ Mild or asymptomatic (incidentally discovered)
cases may be followed clinically to the late phase,
occasionally with serial imaging studies.
◦ Coil embolization is recommended for large aneurysms
to prevent rupture and for aneurysms complicated by
pain, hemorrhage, or thromboembolism.
◦ Saccular aneurysms are usually amenable to
embolization, but fusiform aneurysms may require
ligation and bypass, although stent grafts may play an increasing role in such cases.
◦ Surgical bypass or thrombectomy is considered second-
line treatment when endovascular options fail or are not feasible.
Pearls and Pitfalls
Unlike bromuscular dysplasia, which also aects
the mesenteric arteries, SAM has a predilection for the celiac distribution, occurs in an older population,
has a high mortality rate from aneurysmal rupture and bowel ischemia, undergoes spontaneous repair and remodeling, and is typically not treated with angioplasty.
Unlike vasculitis, SAM is not associated with
inammatory inltration and does not respond to
steroids and immunosuppressants.
Unlike mycotic aneurysms, aneurysms of SAM are not
typically associated with arterial branch points.

Imaging Findings
A DB, C
(A) Coronal reformatted, venous-phase, contrast-enhanced CT scan shows portal vein thrombosis (arrow) and early venous collateralization. (B) From a
transhepatic approach, portal venography shows stasis of ow and a large thrombus (arrow). (C) After suction thrombectomy (right), venography shows restoration of ow in the main portal vein (arrow) and its branches. (D) The transhepatic sheath was removed and the tract was embolized with coils (arrow).
Dierential Diagnosis
Portal vein thrombosis.
Essential Facts
• Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) may be neoplastic (tumor thrombus) or non-neoplastic. Non-neoplastic causes include cirrhosis; prior abdominal surgery such as liver transplantation; abdominal infections such as diverticulitis, peritonitis, or appendicitis; abdominal
inammatory conditions such as Crohn’s disease; and
hypercoagulable states.
Clinical presentation ranges from asymptomatic to fevers, nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal bleeding to lactic acidosis, peritonitis, and sepsis. Presentation varies with variations in multiple pathophysiologic factors:
◦ The extent and rate of progression. Extension into the
superior mesenteric vein may result in mesenteric ischemia indicated by serum lactic acidosis and abdominal pain. Extension into the splenic vein may result in bleeding, isolated gastric varices, and splenomegaly.
◦ The presence of spontaneous recanalization and
the rate of compensatory venous collateralization.
Collaterals develop over a period of weeks to months.
◦ The presence of a mechanical obstruction (e.g.,
compression by tumor or anastomotic obstruction).
• Treatment options depend on etiology and clinical presentation:
◦ Anticoagulation reduces symptoms and induces
recanalization in many patients with mild-to-moderate symptoms and no mechanical obstruction.
◦ Catheter-directed venous thrombolysis (CDT)
and thrombectomy from either a transhepatic or transjugular approach are options for persistent or progressive PVT or when endovascular recanalization of a mechanical obstruction is required.
◦ Mesenteric arterial thrombolysis is adjunctive to CDT
for cases involving the most proximal mesenteric veins.
◦ Surgical laparotomy with revascularization and possible
bowel resection is indicated when progression toward intestinal ischemia is rapid or intestinal necrosis is suspected.
Pearls and Pitfalls
PVT related to liver transplantation (LT):
PVT does not preclude LT but may complicate LT and
reduce graft survival.
Early PVT (, 30 days after LT) results in graft loss;
delayed PVT results in a high rate of graft loss.
Attempts at endovascular or surgical
revascularization are usually warranted because potential pathways for collateralization have
been largely sacriced. In addition, portal venous
angioplasty, stent placement, or surgical revision is typically indicated.
PVT related to cirrhosis:
Recanalization is often performed to maintain
or improve candidacy for LT and to prevent or ameliorate the exacerbation of symptoms related to portal hypertension.
Complete PVT is a contraindication to balloon-
occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) in patients with isolated gastric varices, because BRTO may result in mesenteric venous ischemia in this setting.
Partial acute PVT may improve after BRTO because of
improved ow.
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt
may prevent recurrence in acute cases and may preserve candidacy for LT in both acute and chronic cases.
