title: Asymptomatic Congenital Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt.
abstract: Congenital (spontaneous) intrahepatic portosystemic shunt is rare in the English literature. Most cases of portosystemic shunt occur after trauma, surgery, liver biopsy or as a result of chronic portal hypertension. Chronic shunting may result in encephalopathy, bleeding or hyperinsulinism. We report a case of an asymptomatic adult female with a presumed congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and discuss the pertinent imaging findings and important key concepts related to this condition.
