ABSTRACT

Se sabe que el síndrome hepatopulmonar (SHP) ocurre cuando se produce hipoxemia secundaria a vasodilatación microvascular pulmonar en pacientes con enfermedades hepáticas o hipertensión portal. Se debe considerar en el diagnóstico diferencial de la disnea y la hipoxemia. Se hizo una revisión de la entidad después de presentar a una paciente de 10 años de edad, atendida por padecer una cirrosis criptogenética y una hipoxemia severa. Se estableció el diagnóstico después de realizar ecografía transtoráxica contrastada.
