Abstract
We report the MRI findings in a 31-year-old woman with veno-occlusive disease. MRI demonstrated patent hepatic veins and patchy signal enhancement of the liver after gadolinium chelate injection. This enhancement was compatible with sinusoidal congestion. The diagnosis of veno-occlusive disease was confirmed by histological examination of liver biopsy. The diagnosis of veno-occlusive disease should be evoked when patchy liver enhancement suggestive of sinusoidal congestion is observed in the absence of hepatic vein thrombosis and congestive heart failure.
