ABSTRACT
Persistent ductus venosus as a cause of cholestatic jaundice is very rare. Treatment varies, but is usually reserved for infants in whom complications develop. We report a 5-week-old female infant with cholestatic jaundice caused by a patent ductus venosus and subsequent successful treatment via a transcatheter occlusion using a vascular plug device. No MeSH data available. Related in: MedlinePlus |

Figure 2: Sagittal ultrasound in a 5-week-old neonate with patent ductus venosus: (A) A cystic lesion is demonstrated within the right lobe of the liver (callipers) (B) The ligamentum teres (dashed white arrow) was identified in close relation to the cystic lesion (solid white arrow) (C) Color flow Doppler confirms the vascularity of the lesion (D) Zoomed image demonstrates the close relation and extension (solid black arrow) into the ligamentum teres confirming the diagnosis of a patent ductus venosus Mentions: An abdominal ultrasound showed a vascular channel directly adjacent to the ligamentum teres [Figure 2]. The vascular channel was identified as a patent ductus venosus. |
