TEACHING POINTS

1. Abernethy malformations are extremely rare. Two major types are described. 2. Our experience of four patients - 3 with hepatocellular carcinoma and 1 with a large focal nodular hyperplasia (which regressed spontaneously after shunt occlusion) - Clinical presentation, Imaging studies and Interventional Radiological / Surgical Management. 3. The embryology, pathophysiology, imaging findings (CT, MR and Angiography) and Interventional Radiological / Surgical management . 4. Recognition of the Abernethy malformation and complications on Imaging studies, Management options and algorithms.
