Abernethy Syndrome; Report of a Case

TABLE OF CONTENT

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt known as Abernethy malformation is a rarely seen disorder. It is classified into two types based on the pattern of anastomosis between the portal vein(PV) and inferior vena cava(IVC), and the presence or absence of an intrahepatic portal venous supply. Patients with Abernethy malformations have cardiac and hepatic abnormalities. It rarely can lead to hepatocellular carcinoma in the long term. Here we report a 16- years- old girl who is diagnosed as Abernethy malformation as a result of investigations of early puberty.

Keywords:

Abernethy syndrome, portosystemic shunt, child.
