The term hepatopulmonary syndrome typically applies to cyanosis that results from "intrapulmonary vascular dilatation" due to advanced liver disease. Similar findings may result from a congenital portosystemic shunt without liver disease. An adverse consequence of such shunts is intrapulmonary vascular dilatation, which affects the microvascular gas exchange units for oxygen.
Here, we describe a toddler with chronic cyanosis, exercise intolerance, and finger clubbing due to a malformation shunt between the portal vein and the inferior vena cava. A transcatheter embolization of the shunt resulted in resolution of his findings.
Congenital portosystemic shunts need to be considered in the differential diagnosis of cyanosis.
肝肺综合征一词通常适用于由于晚期肝病导致的“肺内血管扩张”引起的发绀。类似的发现也可能是由于先天性门体分流而没有肝病引起的。这种分流的一个不良后果是肺内血管扩张,这会影响氧气的微血管气体交换单位。
在这里,我们描述了一个患有慢性发绀、运动不耐受和杵状指的幼儿,其病因是门静脉和下腔静脉之间的畸形分流。分流的经导管栓塞导致其症状缓解。
在发绀的鉴别诊断中需要考虑先天性门体分流。
