Abernethy malformation associated with Caroli’s syndrome in a patient with a PKHD1 mutation: a case report
2017
Background
Abernethy malformation is a rare congenital anomaly characterised by the partial or complete absence of the portal vein and the subsequent development of an extrahepatic portosystemic shunt. Caroli’s disease is a rare congenital condition characterised by non-obstructive saccular intrahepatic bile duct dilation. Caroli’s disease combined with congenital hepatic fibrosis and/or renal cystic disease is referred to - Caroli’s syndrome. The combination of Abernethy malformation and Caroli’s syndrome has not been reported previously.
