Abstract

The pathologic changes resulting from liver irradiation include congestion, fibrosis, and veno-occlusive disease. We report an unusual complication of radiation induced injury: acute thrombosis of a main hepatic vein within the radiation port. CT and MR features are described and the etiology of this unusual complication is discussed.
