  • Title: Preduodenal portal vein, malrotation, and high jejunal atresia: a case report.
    Author: Baglaj M, Gerus S.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2012 Jan; 47(1):e27-30. PubMed ID: 22244433.
    Abstract:
    Preduodenal portal vein (PDPV) is a rare congenital anomaly. In most patients, it is associated with other congenital defects including situs inversus, malrotation, and biliary atresia or occurs as part of the heterotaxia syndrome or polysplenia syndrome. We describe a newborn affected by high jejunal atresia, malrotation, and a complex cardiac anomaly, in whom PDPV was diagnosed at early relaparotomy because of stenosis of the jejunal anastomosis. Occurrence of PDPV with intestinal atresia has not been previously reported in the literature.
