ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This study aimed to describe the findings of double superior mesenteric veins (SMVs), a rare anatomical variation, on multidetector computer tomography (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. CASESUMMARY:
We describe the case of a 34-year-old male, who underwent both MDC and MRI examinations of the upper abdomen because of liver cirrhosis. MDCT and MRI angiography images of the upper abdomen revealed an anatomic variation of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV), the double SMVs.CONCLUSION:
The double SMVs are a congenital abnormality without potential clinical manifestation. Physicians need to be aware of this anatomical variation during abdominal surgery to avoid iatrogenic injury.
