Abstract

Fistulae between the hepatic artery and portal vein, known as hepatoportal arteriovenous fistula (HPAVF), is a very rare condition. We report the radiological features of a 10-year-old boy with a congenital HPAVF, who had a 2-month history of gastrointestinal symptoms without the history of trauma or surgery.
