ABSTRACT
As living-donor liver transplant techniques develop, variations in the portal vein are seen in approximately 20% of the population. However, congenital absence of the horizontal segment of the left portal vein is very rare and has not been reported in Korea. We present a case with a congenital absence of the horizontal segment of the left portal vein that was detected during an evaluation for a living donor liver transplantation, with a review of the relevant literature.
