hey guys what's going on my name is
abhinav i'm a first year medical student
and today i want to go through a case
study about some topics that i've been
learning about in school today i want to
go over some of the venous drainage
systems in the abdomen
and just before i forget please do
subscribe and like this video it helps
me out a ton and lets me know if you
still want to learn more about content
that i'm learning in medical school
so without any further ado let's get
into this case study this case study
will focus a lot on drainage of the
blood from the abdomen and where it goes
into the liver as well as a case about a
disease called kaput medusa
and
here we go so the case study here i have
it listed out here
a patient comes into the emergency room
with stomach pains and this is his chief
complaint
his liver protrudes from the abdomen
when you examine the abdomen and you see
signs of enlarged superficial veins
throughout his chest so there's just
like veins coming out protruding from
his chest which are very visible which
shouldn't really be happening and you
conclude and diagnose it with him with a
disease called kaput medusa uh sometimes
you see it with the e over here
sometimes you don't but it's just like
medusa and i think of like medusa like
the uh
the
mythological creature that turns people
into stone when you look at her
so the case study here asks for what's
its anatomical origin uh describe the
venous system anastomosis uh in relation
to the portal vein as well as any other
symptoms that this patient might be
having and this will come a little bit
more clear as we go through before we
get into uh
all the anatomy here i just want to show
a quick picture about medusa and uh
please do be careful if you are wary of
weird medical things uh but here is a
picture of the kaput medusa here is the
anatomy that we'll be going through uh
but here is a picture of the medusa this
is very mild but you see that um there's
some
superficial veins that kind of pop out
at you um and you should not be
happening
this is from healthline.com so i'll put
a link down in below i'll put all my
sources down below in case you want to
explore it a little further but this
website does kind of out outline what
kaput medusa is
in terms of managing it and diagnosing
it and treating and all that
but today i just want to go over the
anatomy of it
so
when we get into the anatomy of it we
ultimately need to look into the venous
drainage system
in the abdomen now all blood from your
intestines your stomach your colon
everything goes to the liver first and
this is because the liver needs to
detoxify anything that you might have
eaten and then that blood will go to the
heart
and this is one of the few portal
systems in your body the portal systems
just mean that
blood is going
to there instead of the heart when you
think of veins you think of blood going
from the organ to the heart portal
system is kind of a mid-stop
where the blood goes from the organ to
the portal system drains into the organ
of the portal system
and then recirculates back into more
veins that will eventually go to the
heart another example of this is in the
brain with your hormones and there is a
portal system there as well
so when we look at the vein venous
system system here we see that the
endpoint is this portal of a this portal
vein drains all the blood these are all
veins
coming from the
gastric uh duodenal intestines all that
into and it's going into the liver here
you see the liver is reflected and you
see the gallbladder right here
now the gallbladder is not too important
in this situation
but what happens with kaput medusa and
the reason why there's distended blood
vessels
is because there is a blockage
of the portal vein here
so
let's say that the portal vein has an
obstruction like right around here
right before it gets introduced uh the
blood gets introduced into the liver
well what happens there is that blood is
now backed up
blood needs to get to the heart and the
only way it does that is actually
through anastomoses anastomosis just
means a reroute a passageway that
reroutes blood
in case there's a blockage in the main
path
so there's actually a lot of anastomoses
here
so let's first review the venous systems
in the abdomen there's the superior
mesenteric vein the inferior mesenteric
vein and the splenic vein here there's
also not labeled here is the left
gastric vein the left gastric vein
drains blood from the stomach the lesser
curvature of the stomach
into the portal vein
the splenic vein drains blood from the
spleen the pancreas the duodenum
and to the portal vein the inferior
mesenteric
and the superior mesenteric drain blood
from the
duodenum julium ileum uh which are the
three parts of the small intestine as
well as the large intestine the colon um
all that blood goes into the superior
and inferior mesenteric which eventually
all branched through into the portal
vein and the portal vein goes to the
liver
so you have a blockage right here that
means that blood needs to go the
opposite way to get to the inferior vena
cava the inferior vena cava is the
ultimate destination after this portal
vein normally blood will go to the
hepatic vein which will then go into the
inferior vena cava
instead of that the blood will actually
go the opposite way so
what happens from order of most
importance to least importance
clinically is that blood will go first
into the
gastric veins right here
so it goes instead of the left gastric
rerouting blood this way into the portal
vein it actually goes the opposite way
now because it needs to get to the
inferior vena cava the way it does that
it goes through here and actually these
um there is an anastomoses with the
esophagus here and there are blood
vessels that go up the esophagus and
then the esophageal veins go into the
inferior vena cava eventually
and the thing about that is that the um
blood
veins there are very thin they're not
used to carrying that much blood of if
you imagine all this
intestinal and abdominal blood going to
that area and up the esophagus in the
esophageal veins is uh not normal so
there's going to be very distended blood
vessels there
and they are prone for rupturing so
that's one way you can go up through the
esophagus the other way is it goes back
through the splenic goes back through
the inferior mediterranea goes back
through the superior mesentery so there
are four different ways
the
uh superior and inferior mesenteric they
might go into the back of the body wall
and then go up the body wall that way
the splenic they might go into
abdominal wall
blood vessels
so
that are those are the multiple ways
that blood can go back
and avoid the portal vein system and
normally this doesn't happen even though
even though there are anastomoses that
go to the inferior vena cava diverging
away from the portal vein
usually the blood pressure and the way
of natural flow
all contribute towards blood going
towards the portal vein
going the other way is not natural um
but they are there for emergencies the
body has a follow the way to
account for possible occlusions in the
portal vein and so the reason why we're
seeing the symptoms of kaput medusa
where blood vessels are distended in the
abdomen
are that the blood is being rerouted to
superficial and more weaker veins
some not superficial like the esophageal
veins so what we see is that the blood
is going the opposite way and it's
distending those blood vessels i talked
about the splenic vein um and the
supreme inferior mesenteric so all those
veins drain into smaller veins outside
the abdomen
cavity and they appear as distended
superficially and that's why you can see
those crazy veins on the surface of the
body
and
the other question here is that what
other symptoms could be possible here
and the other symptoms that can be
possible here is actually related to
this left gastric vein that i was
talking about and how it goes up the
esophagus if it goes up the esophagus
and those blood vessels are extremely
dilated and full of blood um
they are prone to like rupture so if you
swallow something um something
not even that big um depends on how
severe the case is but if you swallow
something and the food or the bolus
ruptures the
veins here that can lead to bleeding
bleeding inside the esophagus and what
can lead is that the patient might be
coughing up blood and they cough with
blood that's a real sign that they're in
trouble and they need to be
sent to surgery somehow
because they need to have those veins
repaired or else they can lose a lot of
blood uh through internal bleeding and
they could die out
so
that's a very severe case of kaput
medusa um and uh when i when i showed
you the picture here that is a very
concerning um symptom that a patient can
present with but um
it can lead to a lot of different
severities i've seen the some pictures
where
the entire abdomen here and uh even like
veins of the thorax
was distended and that's very scary
so that's a little bit about the disease
kaput medusae
and the
portal vein system and the abdomen
drainage system in the abdomen
this is like a major part of blood
traveling in the body because this is
where all your nutrients come from the
blood here is not oxygenated that much
because it's already delivered its
oxygen to the organs
but it is rich in nutrients
everything except fat which primarily
travels through lymph
so with that being said that's about it
that's the case of kapoot medusa and
here's the case one more time if you
want to look it over
but please do let me know what you think
about this topic
i would love to hear any improvements
that i can make and if anything i missed
please do let me know in the comments
down below and again please do subscribe
and like and i look forward to sharing
more medical knowledge with you guys in
the future
with that being said thanks have a good
one

hey guys what's going on my name is
