Abernethy syndrome in Slovenian children: Five case reports and review of literature

Figure 1 Abdominal ultrasound with Doppler color flow (case 1). An anomalous vascular connection between the left hepatic vein (blue arrow) and left portal vein (orange arrow) is seen.

Figure 2 Abdominal computed tomography image of the intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (case 1). The left portal vein (orange arrow) flows directly into the left hepatic vein (black arrow).

Figure 3 Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging scan demonstrating a lesion in the right liver lobe (case 5). A: The lesion (orange arrow) is slightly hyperintense compared to the sorrounding liver tissue on coronal T2-weighted imaging; B: The same lesion (white arrow) has no restriction of diffusion on axial diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequence - a benign lesion.

Figure 4 Axial T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging scan (case 5). Arrows indicate symmetrical T1-hyperintensity involving the bilateral globus pallidus.
