Abernethy Malformation: A Rare Presentation In The Elderly
Article | IMSEAR | ID: sea-190456
ABSTRACT
Abernethy malformation or congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt is a rare clinical entity, and its initial manifestation in adults is still rarer.

The encephalopathy associated with hyperammonemia improved with anti-encephalopathy
