Congenital abnormalities associated with extrahepatic portal hypertension

Congenital abnormalities associated with extrahepatic portal hypertension

M Odièvre et al. Arch Dis Child. 1977 May.

Abstract

Congenital abnormalities were present in 12 out of 30 (40%) children with extrahepatic portal hypertension of unknown cause, but in only 2 out of 17 (12%) children with extnahepatic portal hypertension secondary to umbilical vein catheterization or omphalitis. The most frequent abnormalities in this series and in published reports were atrial septal defect, malformation of the biliary tract, and anomalous inferior vena cava. These findings are consistent with the view that some cases with extrahepatic portal hypertension are congenital in origin.
