Abstract
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] Papamichail M. Pizanias M. Heaton N. Congenital portosystemic venous shunt. Eur J Pediatr. 2018; 177: 285-294 Crossref PubMed Scopus (70) Google Scholar ]. 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.
