Conclusion

The majority of paraumbilical flow returns to the systemic circulation via one of the two inferior epigastric veins in a high correlation with the cadaveric anatomy. Radiologists must be aware of potentially expansile periumbilical venous system especially for interventional procedures to severe portosystemic shunts.
