Arterioportal fistula - a case report
Abstract
An intrahepatic arterioportal
fistula is a rare occurrence in liver cirrhosis.
Arterioportal fistulas have been said
to result from congenital arteriovenous
malformation, ruptured hepatic aneurysm,
trauma, iatrogenic causes, liver
cirrhosis, or liver tumor. We report a case
of arterioportal fistula in the setting of
cryptogenic cirrhosis.
