[Portal cavernoma and intestinal lymphangiectasis].
A child is described with a portal cavernoma and marked growth retardation who was found to have intestinal lymphangiectasia. It is proposed that the lymphangiectasia may be secondary to portal hypertension. This suggestion is supported by the improvement in lymphopenia after a splenorenal shunt cavernome.
