Core Tip

Core Tip: Abernethy malformation, also referred to as congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt, is an uncommon malformation resulting from anomalous development of the portal venous system. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which is rare in Asian populations. We present an Asian child with type II Abernethy malformation coexisting with CF and discuss the diagnosis and treatment of Abernethy malformation and CF.
