Living donor liver transplantation for multiple intrahepatic portosystemic shunts after involution of infantile hepatic hemangiomas.

We describe a 6-year-old girl presenting with multiple intrahepatic portosystemic shunts after the involution of infantile hepatic hemangiomas (IHHs), who successfully underwent living donor liver transplantation. The chronological changes of radiologic findings indicated that remnant portovenous shunts at the time of IHHs involution developed gradually on the background of atrophic intrahepatic portal veins. This suggests that patients should be carefully followed up for the late onset of intrahepatic portosystemic shunts after the involution of IHHs.
