title: [Intrahepatic portocaval shunt: review of the literature, apropos of 1 case].
abstract: We report a case of portal-hepatic shunt which was detected fortuitously by ultrasonography in a 66-year-old patient. This abnormality, mainly described in cirrhotic liver and rarely in healthy liver, is usually revealed by hepatic encephalopathy or glycoregulation disorders. We propose a diagnostic and therapeutic approach based on a review of the literature.
