Intrahepatic Portosystemic Venous Shunt: A Case Report
Received Date: Nov 02, 2023 / Published Date: Nov 30, 2023
Abstract
The intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt is defined as communication between an intrahepatic portal vein and a systemic vein, including the hepatic and perihepatic veins, via an anomalous intrahepatic venous channel. Intrahepatic shunts between portal and systemic veins can be acquired (cirrhosis, trauma, rupture of a portal vein aneurysm) or congenital. Intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunts (IPSVSs) are rare vascular malformations. They can be asymptomatic or present with various symptoms including encephalopathy. We present one case of IPSVS discovered incidentally.
