It is a thickened axial ridge in the Animal shell shell of some families of gastropods. A varix is located at intervals around the Whorl mollusc whorl , and is formed by considerable thickening of the outer lip at a resting stage in the growth of the shell. In other words, in gastropods whose shells have varices, the shells are characterised by episodic growth the shell grows in spurts, and during the resting phase the varix forms. Gastropods whose shells have varices are primarily families and species within the taxonomic groups Littorinimorpha and Neogastropoda . In many gastropods bearing varices, for example the Cassinae , the varix is essentially merely a thickening and swelling of the shell at that point. But in some genera within the family Muricidae , such as Chicoreus , Hexaplex , Pteropurpura and Pterynotus , and also within the genus Biplex of the family Ranellidae , the varices are characterised by elaborate ruffles, frills or lamellae. Some other genera, for example Murex , are armed with protective spines which may be straight or curved, and which are formed by the varices closing or curling around their axis.

It is often defined as a portal pressure gradient the difference in pressure between the portal vein and the hepatic veins of 10 mmHg or greater. Causes Causes can be divided into prehepatic, intrahepatic, and posthepatic. Intrahepatic causes include liver cirrhosis , and hepatic fibrosis e.g. due to Wilson s disease , hemochromatosis , or congenital fibrosis . Prehepatic causes include portal vein thrombosis or congenital atresia. Posthepatic obstruction occurs at any level between liver and right heart, including hepatic vein thrombosis , inferior vena cava thrombosis, inferior vena cava congenital malformation, and constrictive pericarditis . Signs and symptoms Consequences of portal hypertension are caused by blood being forced down alternate channels by the increased resistance to flow through the systemic venous system rather than the portal system.
