A 19-year-old male patient presented cyanosis and dyspnoea because of the presence of multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas resulting in oxygen desaturation. The CTA revealed that intestinal and splenic venous blood bypasses the liver and drains into the inferior vena cava. This is the first reported case of hepatopulmonary syndrome caused by congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt in which intestinal and splenic venous blood bypasses the liver and drains into the inferior vena cava.
一名19岁男性患者因存在多个肺动静脉瘘导致氧饱和度降低而出现发绀和呼吸困难。CT血管造影显示肠静脉和脾静脉血绕过肝脏,直接汇入下腔静脉。这是首例因先天性肝外门体分流导致肠静脉和脾静脉血绕过肝脏直接汇入下腔静脉而引起肝肺综合征的报告病例。
