Abstract
Whether segmental or diffuse, a hepatofugal blood flow is almost always pathological. Over the years,
Doppler ultrasonography has retained its position as one of the most accessible and physiological imaging
techniques to evaluate the direction of the portal blood flow. Detection of a reverse flow is important as it
may change patient care and outcome.
