  • Title: [Extrahepatic stenosis of the portal vein after infection or catheterization of the umbilical vein during the neonatal period (author's transl)].
    Author: Ernst D, Obladen M, Wille L.
    Journal: Monatsschr Kinderheilkd (1902); 1976 Nov; 124(11):741-3. PubMed ID: 1033457.
    Abstract:
    147 children with high risk of developing a prehepatic portal vein obstruction were reexamined. The children had survived during their neonatal period:--Serious umbilical infection and sepsis (n=33)--Multiple exchange transfusion (n=55)--Long-term umbilical vein catheter treatment for at least 24 hrs (n=59). The reexamination at the age of 2--4 years revealed one case of total occlusion of the vena lienalis with partial obstruction of the vena portae in a child with former umbilical sepsis. Even though the etiologic relation of neonatal umbilical disorders and prehepatic portal obstruction is evident, the risk for the individual case seems to be low.
