A case of the Abernethy malformation: An exceptionally rare clinical entity

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: I review a case of a 30-year-old woman who presented with diarrhea, nausea and vomiting for several days. She was ultimately diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis but was incidentally found to have a congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt, also known as the Abernethy malformation. The Abernethy malformation, first described by Dr John Abernethy in the year 1793, is an exceptionally rare clinical entity.
