Congenital portosystemic shunts (PSS) are vascular malformations creating abnormal
connections between portal and systemic veins. Blood collected from digestive organs is shunted to the systemic circulation, resulting
in possible adverse consequence. There are two categories of congenital shunts, extrahepatic (EPSS) and intrahepatic
(IPSS). Current data indicates that IPSS has a favorable prognosis [
[1]
]. However, previous studies were mainly based on findings of neonatal patients. We
present the pregnancy and postnatal outcomes of sixteen fetal cases of IPSS. This
knowledge will help assess the possible clinical impact, parental counseling, and
perinatal management.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
