    Author: Levesque DC, Oliver JE, Cornelius LM, Mahaffey MB, Rawlings CA, Kolata RJ.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1982 Jul 15; 181(2):143-5. PubMed ID: 7118694.
    Abstract:
    Congenital portacaval shunts causing signs of hepatic encephalopathy were diagnosed and surgically corrected in 2 cats. A tentative diagnosis of portacaval shunt in each case was based on history, results of physical examination, and a high venous ammonia concentration. A definitive diagnosis was established by mesenteric portography and by direct visualization of the shunt vessel during surgery.
