Abernethy malformation is a very rare condition in which mesenteric venous blood is drained into systemic circulation by an extra hepatic portosystemic shunt. Here we present a case of a female in infantile period who is a liver transplant candidate with biliary atresia and ventricular septal defect (VSD) accompanying Abernethy malformation type 2.
