Abstract

Congenital hepatic arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) are rare and occur in less than 1:100,000 live births and are linked with poor perinatal outcome. Hepatic arteriovenous malformation can be of three types, out of which we present a case of hepatic AVF with AV connection in a case of primigravida at 26 weeks gestation presented with fetal growth restriction and Doppler changes.

Keywords

congenital hepatic arteriovenous fistulae - fetal aorta-portal vein- umbilical vein anastomosis - fetal growth restriction - hepatic arteriovenous malformation - pseudo ductus venosus waveforms
