Zusammenfassung:Abernethy malformation (Type 1B) presenting in a 6-year-old boy with hematochezia and hematuria: a case report Abernethy malformation is a rare congenital vascular abnormality defined by the diversion of portal blood flow to the inferior vena cava or its tributaries. Clinical presentations include neonatal cholestasis, liver tumors, and encephalopathy but variables in timing and symptomatology. Herein, we present a 6-year-old boy was referred to our hospital with complaints of hematochezia, hematuria, fecal, and urinary incontinence. A diagnosis of type 1b malformation was made depending on magnetic resonance angiography and cardiac catheterization findings, which demonstrated that the superior mesenteric vein and splenic vein joined to form a common trunk measuring 38 mm diameter and then drained into the dilated inferior vena cava with the absence of portal vein abnormalities in the liver. With further investigations, we indicated the presence of many arteriovenous malformations and urogenital abnormalities. The patient was managed conservatively.
