Surgically Correctable Central Cyanosis: Congenital Extrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt in a Child.

Congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunts (CEPS) are rare anomalies connecting the portal system to the inferior vena cava. This report discusses a 10-year-old boy with Type II c CEPS, presenting cyanosis and dyspnea. Surgical ligation resulted in significant improvement in symptoms. Early identification and intervention are crucial, necessitating a protocolized approach. Copyright: © 2024 Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons.
