Abstract

Background

The pathological complication in the human portal systems include arteriovenous abnormalities (like shunt, fistula, hematoma and aneurism). The Arteriovenous abnormalities in portal systems either congenital or acquired

The pathological complication in the human portal systems include arteriovenous abnormalities (like shunt, fistula, hematoma and aneurism). The Arteriovenous abnormalities in portal systems either congenital or acquired. The uterine arteriovenous abnormalities include arteriovenous shunt, fistula, hematoma and aneurism. It is also congenital or acquired.

Aim: To assess if there is a special vascular uterine portal system or note according to the similarity of both pathologies.

Methodology: Review the old and recent published studies related to portal system and uterine vascular anatomy.

Results: Similarity of pathological changes in portal circulation and uterine arterio-venous abnormalities. So there is a possibility to presence a special vascular uterine portal system.

Conclusion: Pelvic vascular anatomy in-vivo and in cadaveric sample should be investigated and re-evaluated using high technology methods including MRI, CT and A1 to approve if there is a special uterine portal circulation or not.
