Department of Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China.
Symptomatic intrahepatic portohepatic venous shunts are rare. We report a
case with shunting isolated in the right lobe. The lesion was clearly
depicted with sonography and was successfully resected using echoguidance.
Using this case and a review of the literature, we propose a management
approach for this rare lesion.
