A Rare Cause of Cyanosis: Hepatopulmonary Syndrome Caused by Congenital Extrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt

A Rare Cause of Cyanosis: Hepatopulmonary Syndrome Caused by Congenital Extrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt

A 19-year-old male patient presented cyanosis and dyspnoea because of the presence of multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas resulting in oxygen desaturation.
