Abstract

Congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt belongs to a family of rare vascular abnormalities. We present a case of congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt occurring in a 42-year-old man who died of cerebral hemorrhage and donated his liver. His portal vein angiography revealed that the main portal vein communicated with the left renal vein, suggesting a portosystemic shunt. A liver biopsy showed that the liver tissue structure was normal. His liver was not involved, and the transplantation was carried out smoothly. The recipient recovered smoothly, and the function of the transplanted liver was good.
