Volume rendered (A) and maximum intensity projection (B, C) reconstructed images from venous phase of contrast-enhanced 3D MRA demonstrate a long serpiginous shunt (arrows in A, B and C) which arises from the SMV near the portal confluence, descends into the pelvis, and empties into the left internal iliac vein.
