Congenital agenesis of the portal venous system (CAPVS) is a very rare anomaly, in which the portal blood bypass the liver and a portosystemic shunt (PSS) between the spleno-mesenteric system and the systemic circulation is made. In 1994, Morgan et al. attempted to classify the several types of CAPVS (5) into two categories: type I which is a total agenesis with a PSS, and type II (partial agenesis) in which a portion of the portal blood is delivered into the systemic venous circulation (porto-hepatic shunt). The anomaly is sometimes accompanied by ductus venosus (DV) agenesis (1-4).
