Possible Causes for distended umbilical veins Portal Cirrhosis vein - rectal branches which, when distended, form hemorrhoids Umbilical vein - epigastric venous system around the umbilicus (caput medusae) Retroperitoneal collaterals [slideshare.net] hematemesis /malenahematemesis /malena Anal veins: hemorrhoidsAnal veins: hemorrhoids Falciform ligament via umbilical veins:Falciform ligament via umbilical veins: [slideshare.net] Portal Vein Collaterals Coronary vein and short gastric veins - veins of the lesser curve of the stomach and the esophagus, leading to the formation of varices Inferior mesenteric [slideshare.net] Macronodular Cirrhosis BACKGROUND/AIMS: Incomplete septal cirrhosis (ISC) is a form of macronodular cirrhosis characterized by slender, incomplete septa that demarcate inconspicuous nodules. Its clinical features have not been investigated in a large series. The aims of this study were to review the clinical symptoms and evolution of ISC in[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Cryptogenic Cirrhosis Abstract Some patients diagnosed with cryptogenic cirrhosis may have "burned-out" nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFL). To test this hypothesis, we used our liver transplant database (November 1984 to November 1998) to assess the incidence of NAFL in patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis after orthotopic liver[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Esophageal Varices We present a case of mucosal esophageal dissection in a 44-year-old patient with alcoholic cirrhosis admitted for upper digestive bleeding. The endoscopic aspect was of chronic mucosal dissection in the esophagus and 3rd degree esophageal varices with red signs. To our knowledge, it is the only case with[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Primary Biliary Cirrhosis A 34-year-old woman showed liver dysfunction for the first time at 3 months after delivery. Two years later, she was referred to our department with continued liver dysfunction. She fulfilled the criteria for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)-autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) overlap. Liver dysfunction improved after[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Portal Vein Thrombosis Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is being recognized with increasing frequency with the use of ultrasonography. Reduced portal blood flow caused by hepatic parenchymal disease and abdominal sepsis (ie, infectious or ascending thrombophlebitis) are the major causes. Transient PVT is also being recognized with increasing[…] [emedicine.com] Congenital Liver Cirrhosis ICD-10-CM Codes › P00-P96 Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period › P76-P78 Digestive system disorders of newborn › P78- Other perinatal digestive system disorders › Congenital cirrhosis (of liver) 2016 2017 2018 2019 Billable/Specific Code Code on Newborn Record P78.81 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM[…] [icd10data.com] Presinusoidal Portal Hypertension Abstract This study evaluates systemic and splanchnic haemodynamics and the effect of propranolol in 15 patients with presinusoidal portal hypertension (portal vein obstruction, n 11; schistosomiasis, n 4). These patients exhibited a hyperkinetic circulatory syndrome characterized by high cardiac index (4.4 /-[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Portal Hypertension Joubert syndrome (JS) and related disorders (JSRD) (OMIM #213300) are a group of developmental delay/multiple congenital anomalies syndromes in which the pathognomonic "the molar tooth sign" (MTS) is present, is caused by the defects in the structure or function of the primary cilium. Liver disease is observed in[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Cardiac Cirrhosis Abstracts Objectives: Cardiogenic ascites has been well described regarding its pathophysiology and fluid characteristics in prior literatures. However, ascites in patients with cardiac cirrhosis has not been characterized as a separate entity despite its unique pathophysiology and clinical aspects. This study aims to[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Secondary Biliary Cirrhosis Liver cirrhosis is a diffuse chronic liver disease affecting the entire liver. The fibrosis accumulation and distribution in the liver are known to be heterogeneous. "Localized" or "focal" cirrhosis is only anecdotically reported. Acute hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is uncommon in western countries, especially in[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Hepatic Vein Occlusion BACKGROUND: Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) with hepatic vein (HV) occlusion is manifested by severe liver damage in acute cases and esophageal variceal bleeding or refractory ascites in chronic cases, which is difficult to differentiate from cirrhotic portal hypertension. AIMS: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Indian Childhood Cirrhosis Abstract We previously demonstrated decreased metallothionein (MT) synthesis in cultured fibroblasts obtained from an American boy with findings typical of Indian Childhood Cirrhosis (ICC). We now report normal basal, copper-induced, and zinc-induced MT synthesis in the fibroblasts of two Indian boys and one Irish[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Orbital Varix umbilical veins Gastric varices Gastric varices bleeding Gastric varices, bleeding Mesenteric varices On examination - caput medusae Orbital varix Varicose veins of nasal [icd9data.com] Convert to ICD-10-CM : 456.8 converts approximately to: 2015/16 ICD-10-CM I86.8 Varicose veins of other specified sites Approximate Synonyms Bleeding gastric varices Distended [icd9data.com] Urethrocele Bleeding gastric varices; Distended umbilical veins; ICD-9-CM codes are used in medical billing, coding to describe diseases, The Chartered Institute of Marketing The Code [festmi.dip.jp] Obstetrical Misadventure Also possible, but as far as I can find still unproven, is that in vivo the umbilical cord surface over the rigid scaffold of the distended circulation can protect the vein [obstetricalpathology.com] The anatomical structure does suggest that the helical collagen attachment may favor patency of the vein lumen, since after delivery the empty umbilical vein typically has [obstetricalpathology.com] Benign Recurrent Intrahepatic Cholestasis Case Report : A 23 year male patient with Wilsons disease diagnosed 5 years ago presented with convulsions.On examination: Abdomen was distended with engorged veins, umbilical [japi.org] Short Rib-Polydactyly Syndrome Type Beemer-Langer The abdomen was distended and soft.
