RESULTSMacroscopic lesions were found on examination of the endothelial surface of the veins in 64 (51 per cent.) of the 126 cases of post-necrotic cirrhosis of the liver, and in all 4 cases of gross splenomegaly. The three visible lesions were haemorrhages, mural thrombi and plaques of intimal thickening. The frequency of occurrence and distribution of these lesions within the portal, splenic and superior mesenteric veins are given in the table. It should be noted that when lesions occurred in the superior mesenteric vein they were restricted to the distal 2 cm., in the line of venous flow, of that vein and were never encountered proximal to this. Further, each intimal plaque in the superior mesenteric vein involved also the portal or splenic veins, and mural thrombi, with one exception (fig. l), were seen to be extensions from one of the latter veins (fig. 2).Haemorrhages appeared as dark spots either in an otherwise normal vein or vein segment or, more commonly, in a plaque of intimal thickening. In the former situation they ranged in size from pin-point to areas 1-3 mm. in diameter (figs. 1 and 2) whereas in the latter they tended to be larger. At hand-lens magnification their outlines were sharply defined and, in the case of the larger haemorrhages, irregular. Again under a hand lens over and, in an irregular area, around many of the haemorrhages the normal glister of the endothelium was lost and it appeared to be covered with a granular material. Mural thrombi varied greatly in size from minute to a few centimetres (figs. 2 and 4) and the number in any one preparation ranged from 1 to 5. They were most commonly encountered in preparations showing
