    Abstract Hepatic "hot spots" in anterior paraumbilical hepatic segments of patients suffering from superior vena cava syndrome may be revealed by angio-computed tomography. They may be due to a collateralizing system, the epigastric-paraumbilical venous system (EPVS), which enters the liver as a "third inflow". We report a typical case emphasizing the role of the ensiform and inferior Sappey's veins which constitute typical anatomic components of the EPVS.

    Abstract Left isomerism (polysplenia), one of the two major variants of heterotaxia with right isomerism (asplenia), may be rarely diagnosed in adulthood. Most cases are nevertheless asymptomatic and incidentally detected during imaging or surgery performed for unrelated conditions. We hereby report a case of left isomerism fortuitously diagnosed in a 55-year-old man with unrelated tachy-cardiomyopathy. Thoraco-abdominal computed tomography revealed a typical preduodenal portal vein (PDPV) associated with a large series of other occult anatomic variations comprising: polysplenia, agenesis of both pancreatic body and tail, complete non-rotation of the bowel and finally azygous continuation of the inferior vena cava. Subtle but highly specific thoracic features of left isomerism were also found with a bilobed right lung and bilateral long hyparterial main bronchi. The features of adult left isomerism are remembered with special attention to the PDPV.

    Abstract Meandering right pulmonary vein (MRPV) is an exceedingly rare congenital pulmonary vascular variant with less than 20 reported cases. MPVR is a tortuous aberrant venous drainage of the right pulmonary upper lobe anastomosing with the right lower pulmonary vein instead of directly joining the left atrium. The variant is benign with an orthotopic venous drainage without any kind of shunting. The differential diagnosis mostly comprises the scimitar syndrome but also primary varix, arteriovenous malformations, and pulmonary sequestration. We report a case of MRPV fortuitously diagnosed in a 70-year-old patient. Multi-detector computed tomographic angiography (CTA) with MPR, MIP, and 3D reconstructions allowed the diagnosis obviating the need for invasive procedures.

    Abstract Purpose: To confirm and illustrate the great variability of morphology of the Cerebral Arterial Circle (CAC)-also commonly called "Circle of Willis"-in current clinical Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) practice.
    Methods: Computed Tomographic Angiographic 3D Volume Rendering reconstructions of the CAC performed in a series of 511 patients were retrospectively reviewed and classified following their anatomic configuration.
    Results: An amount of 27 CAC configurations were listed. Complete and "nearly complete" (1 missing segment) CACs were found in 115 (22.58%) and 157 (28.6%) patients. The posterior arch was much more frequently incomplete (374 patients = 73.18%) than the anterior arch (96 patients = 18.4%). The main cause was a high prevalence of missing posterior communicating arteries (PCoAs). The left or right PCoA were unilaterally lacking in 156 patients (30.53%) and both PCoAs were lacking in 179 patients (35.02%). Cases with 2 and 3 missing segments were observed in 184 (36%) and 44 patients (8.6%). Precarious situations were also identified including 7 cases (1.4%) of complete isolation of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), 11 cases (2.15%) of absence of interhemispheric supply, 205 cases (40.1%) of full separation of the carotid and vertebra-basilar (VB) territories and 44 cases (8.6%) of full separation of the three main arterial axes (both ICAs and VB). The prevalence of Fetal Posterior Cerebral Arteries (FPCA) variants was also reported. A "Full" FPCA was found unilaterally in 48 (9.4%) and bilaterally in 13 (2.54%) of patients. Apart from agenesis and hypoplasia reported in our study, various other variations of the anterior complex of the CAC (ACoA and A2 segments of the ACA) were also noted.
    Conclusion: CTA with 3D Volume Rendering may powerfully assess the numerous variations of the CAC. This assessment is of prime importance for the evaluation of patients presenting with risk factors or in whom neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, interventional radiology or carotid endarterectomy (CEA) are being considered.

    Abstract Multidetector computed tomographic angiography (MDCTA) is the new gold standard for diagnostic evaluation of the abdominal and/or mesenteric arteries. It is not invasive and provides a 2D and 3D global cartography of all abdominal arteries and that with only a limited amount of contrast media. MDCTA allows the optimal diagnosis of single or multiple arterial stenosis and easily analyses sometimes very complex collateral pathways. It constitutes a major advance to plan the arterial visceral safety of major commonly performed abdominal surgical procedures such as aorto-iliac surgery, endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), but also complex pancreatic and gastrointestinal or colonic surgery. It also allows to plan the most optimal strategy for revascularization of the mesenteric system through percutaneous angioplasty, stent placement or surgical bypass. This extensive pictorial review illustrates a large variety of situations which may be found during clinical practise. Single compression or stenosis of each digestive artery, combined and/or complex associations of stenosis and/or compressions of several arteries, secondary complications like aneurysms and classical but also sometimes unusual patterns of collateralization are richly illustrated. Specific syndromes comprising the median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) and the Leriche's syndrome are also discussed.
