Abstract
We analyzed the characteristics of the population with congenital portosystemic shunt diagnosed during the antenatal period and the organization of their perinatal care. This multicentric retrospective study included all the patients with a prenatal diagnosis of congenital portosystemic shunt. Between 1999 and 2015, 12 patients were included. Prenatal diagnosis was done at a median 26.5 weeks of gestation (21–34). All the patients presented intrahepatic CPSS, three of them had associated congenital cardiopathy, and one a Bannayan-Zonana syndrome. Ten patients had simple outcome on conservative treatment, eight of them having a spontaneous closure of their portosystemic shunt within the first 2 years of life. One patient had surgical treatment which failed and he developed a focal nodular hyperplasia. Another patient had radiological interventional closure of his shunt which was complicated by a venal portal thrombosis.Keywords
