Received Date: Nov 02, 2018 / Accepted Date: Mar 15, 2019 / Published Date: Mar 25, 2019
Abstract
Aims: To evaluate and asses rare congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunts and their associated systemic manifestations.
Methods and Material: Pediatric patients presenting to the hospital for CECT (Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography)/MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) evaluation were assessed and any portal vascular abnormalities were documented and evaluated accordingly. 64 slice Phillips scanner and 3.0 tesla Phillips achieva MRI was used to acquire images.
Results and Conclusions: Abernethy malformation (CEPS) is a rare vascular aberration which when detected early and specifically characterized can help in early treatment and intervention altering the prognosis for the patient.
