ABSTRACT

Biliary atresia is the most common indication for liver transplantation in the pediatric age group. The Kasai portoenterostomy has become established as the primary treatment for biliary atresia. If portoenterostomy fails, death before 2 years of age is likely without liver transplantation. The most common multiple malformation syndrome associated with biliary atresia is polysplenia syndrome, which forms a constellation of defects of body symmetry, splenic development and vascular anomalies, including situs inversus, polysplenia and others. The situs inversus was formerly considered an absolute contraindication for liver transplantation. Recently however, several case reports have been published suggesting that neither situs inversus nor this particular subset of vascular abnormalities should be considered contraindications to liver transplantation. We present one case of liver transplantation performed in patient with biliary atresia, situs inversus and polysplenia. This is the first report described in Spain for a liver transplant in a child with biliary atresia plus situs inversus.

ABSTRACT

La atresia de vías biliares es la indicación más frecuente para trasplante hepático en la edad pediátrica. La portoenterostomía de Kasai es el tratamiento primario para la atresia de vías biliares. Si la portoenterostomía falla, el fallecimiento suele ocurrir antes de los 2años de edad sin el trasplante hepático. El síndrome de múltiples malformaciones más comunmente asociado con la atresia de vías biliares es el síndrome de poliesplenia, formado por una constelación de defectos en la simetría corporal, desarrollo del bazo y anomalías vasculares, incluyendo situs inversus, poliesplenia y otros. El situs inversus era considerado como una contraindicación absoluta para el trasplante hepático. Sin embargo recientemente han sido publicados varios casos, sugiriendo que ni el situs inversus ni la presencia de dichas alteraciones vasculares deben ser consideradas como contraindicaciones para el trasplante hepático. Presentamos un caso de trasplante hepático realizado a un paciente con atresia de vías biliares, situs inversus y poliesplenia. Es el primer caso descrito en España (AU)
