Key Points

To document and characterize the rare anatomical occurrence of a transdiaphragmatic portosystemic venous shunt draining into the pericardiacophrenic vein.
Evaluated imaging findings demonstrating abnormal vascular communication between the portal venous system and the pericardiacophrenic vein across the diaphragm.
Identification of an atypical transdiaphragmatic portosystemic collateral pathway connecting directly into the pericardiacophrenic venous circulation.
Vascular characterization confirms drainage across the diaphragm, providing an alternative decompression route for portal venous flow.
