Résumé
Aberrant left gastric vein is a rare variant and hardly known by surgeons. Its misidentification may lead to accidental bleeding. More importantly, it can also be the root of hypertensive gastropathy in cirrhotic patients and tumor spread in patients with gastric cancer. Here, we describe and provide imaging data of the three patterns of aberrant left gastric veins.
