RESUMEN
Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 29 años que consultó por rectorragias autolimitadas que fue diagnosticada de síndrome de Abernethy (shunt portosistémico congénito). Se trata de un debut clínico poco habitual en este tipo de síndrome congénito muy poco prevalente. La gran mayoría de los casos descritos en la literatura se manifiestan clínicamente en la edad pediátrica
ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 29-year-old patient who presented with a short history of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. A diagnosis of Abernethy syndrome was made (congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt) after this uncommon clinical presentation. The prevalence of this congenital malformation is very low and usually manifests during the pediatric age, according to previously published reports
