  		Fig. 2 —81-year-old woman who underwent contrast-enhanced CT after repair of diaphragmatic hernia. Coronal oblique maximum intensity projection shows small aneurysmal communication (A) between branches of right portal vein (PV) and right hepatic vein (HV). Radiodense material adjacent to aneurysm is barium in adjacent colon.
