Secondary BCS in two different patients. (a) Axial maximum-intensity-projection (MIP) CECT image in a patient with past history of blunt trauma to the abdomen demonstrating a liver laceration (arrows) which had caused thrombosis of the middle hepatic vein with resultant comma-shaped intrahepatic venovenous collateral (arrowheads) between the left hepatic vein and the remnant middle hepatic vein. (b) Axial MIP image from the CECT scan of a young woman with hydatid cyst of liver (asterisk) causing thrombosis of the right hepatic vein and formation of intrahepatic collateral (arrowheads) between the middle and right hepatic vein.
