91) ANSWER

RATIONALE
Obstruction to portal blood flow causes a rise in
portal venous pressure resulting in splenomegaly, ascites, and dilation of
collateral venous channels predominantly, in the paraumbilical and hemorrhoidal
veins, the cardia of the stomach, and extending into the esophagus. Look for the
option that would reflect increased venous pressure.
