Article Synopsis
- Congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) are uncommon abnormalities that create a direct connection between the portal venous system and the systemic circulation.
- They are often discovered through prenatal screenings, during instances of neonatal cholestasis, or through serious complications like pulmonary hypertension and encephalopathy.
- Treatment typically involves interventional radiology to close the shunt, particularly if complications arise, it's extrahepatic, or it persists beyond two years, using a two-step procedure.
A common complaint from children is growing pains: a mild to severe pain located primarily in the legs and being most intense in evenings and during sleep. The diagnosis is based on the characteristics of the pain and careful clinical examination. The pain disappears as the child grows up.
