Abstract

Preduodenal portal vein (PDPV) is a rare anomaly that can cause duodenal obstruction. PDPV is associated with other congenital anomalies, mainly cardiac and gastrointestinal. Treatment usually consists of bypassing the obstruction by duodenoduodenostomy. We report two cases of PDPV in association with atrial isomerism and malrotation with different surgical management.

Keywords

Preduodenal Portal Vein - atrial isomerism - duodenal obstruction - malrotation - duodenoduodenostomy
