Obstruction (_oppilatio_) of the liver or enfraxis is defined as a disease of the canals (_pori_), of which four are enumerated, to-wit, the meseraic, that of the convexity of the organ (_gibbus -- ubi sunt exitus capillarium venarum_), the duct leading to the gall-bladder and that leading to the spleen.

Hence are caused the discharges of blood from the hæmorrhoidal veins, which form one of the characteristic symptoms of the disease; for as these vessels empty their blood into the meseraic veins, which open into the vena porta, if the meseraic veins be obstructed, the hæmorrhoidals must consequently be also affected, and they easily burst open from too great distention.
Cases of Organic Diseases of the Heart John Collins Warren 1817
