Abstract
We are reporting a case of Abernethy syndrome type 2, a rare disorder of the splanchnic venous system. Abernethy syndrome consists of congenital porto-systemic shunts that are a result of persistence of embryonic vessels. A 6 year old child presented to us with generalised weakness involving all four limbs with bilateral ptosis followed by altered sensorium and flapping tremors. Investigations were suggestive of hyperammonemia and coagulopathy. CT angiography of abdomen was suggestive of Abernethy syndrome type 2.
