title: [Severe chronic hypoxemia in cirrhosis].
abstract: In the course of cirrhosis, severe chronic hypoxemia (< 60 mmHg) is exceptional, it is the most often in contact with intrapulmonary vascular anomalies and necessitates complex investigations. Authors reported a case of 16-years old patient, breach of cirrhosis with underdevelopment and that presents a severe chronic respiratory insufficiency not improved by the addition of oxygen. The different practiced explorations are in favor of an hepatopulmonary syndrome secondary probably to intrapulmonary shunting.
