Calcified liver abscess in a newborn with portal vein thrombosis and portal cavernoma
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Child Health - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Liver abscess in the neonatal period is a rare but serious illness. We present a case of liver abscess in a 30 week preterm infant after necrotising enterocolitis and umblical venous catheterization. It was later complicated by early calcification of abscess and portal vein thrombosis and cavernoma formation.
