Congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt masquerading as chronic portal vein thrombosis: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Congenital extra hepatic portosystemic shunt (CEPS) is a rare vascular malformation in which splanchnic and portal blood is shunted into the systemic circulation eluding the liver. Type 1 CEPS is sometimes difficult to differentiate from pathologies such as chronic portal veinthrombosis as the portal vein may not be visualized in either entities.

Case Presentation: A 3-year-old male child with a week of abdominal pain was diagnosed with chronic portal vein thrombosis in an out-of-hospital setting.

Implementing ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction of intussusception in a low-resource country in Sub-Saharan Africa: our initial experience in Ethiopia.

Background: Despite advances in non-invasive radiological techniques for the treatment of intussusception, management of the entity still remains exclusively surgical in many developing countries, including Ethiopia. Fluoroscopic units are rare or mostly dysfunctional. Ultrasound scanners are more commonly available.
