title: Type 1 diabetes mellitus and extrahepatic portal vein obstruction: a causal association?
abstract: So far, no association has been described between multifactiorial disorders such as insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus and extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO), which is the most common cause of extra-hepatic portal hypertension in children. We describe 3 cases of EHPVO who developed type 1 diabetes mellitus.
