Congenital intrahepatic portohepatic venous shunt: treatment with coil embolisation.
Congenital abnormalities of the portal venous system are rare. There are few radiological descriptions of intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt detected in the perinatal period. We report a congenital portosystemic shunt that was detected by US and treated with coil embolisation in the neonatal period.
