If the AVM creates a connection between the portal vein and the blood vessels of the liver, the result may be portal hypertension ( increased portal vein pressure ), in which collateral blood vessels form in the esophagus ( esophageal varices ), which may bleed violently ; furthermore, the increased pressure may give rise to fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity ( ascites ).

If the flow in the AVM is in the other direction, portal venous blood flows directly into the veins rather than running through the liver ; this may lead to hepatic encephalopathy ( confusion due to portal waste products irritating the brain ).
