Core Tip	Portal venous system aneurysms (PVSAs) are considered a rare disease. Ultrasound is the method of choice in the initial assessment of a suspected PVSA, by showing a focal enlargement of the portal venous system with typical color Doppler features. However, no studies have so far reported contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) findings. In this multi-center, retrospective, case series study we demonstrated, for the first time, that CEUS could be useful in the assessment and follow-up of a PVSA.
