“…50% of cases of PDPV discovered incidentally during surgery. 11,12 In this series the diagnosis was not finalized either prenatally or preoperatively and PDPV was incidentally found during operation. This incidental finding should alert the surgeon to be familiar to deal with it to prevent unnecessary trauma during operation with serious outcomes.…”

Congenital Duodenal Obstruction with Preduodenal Portal Vein and Situs Inversus Totalis: Report of Two Cases and Literature Review

et al. 2011

Preduodenal portal vein is a rare congenital anomaly that causes high intestinal obstruction. The authors report two interesting cases of preduodenal portal vein that were diagnosed as having congenital duodenal obstruction. As there is a high potential for surgical risk, this anomaly is of special interest to the surgeon and should be kept in mind. Here, we discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis and management along with a review of the literature.

“…Recognition of this anomaly, and preservation of the vein during retrieval and implantation, is critical. It is important to remember that it may be one manifestation of portal vein duplication (vide infra), and that other associated anomalies such as polysplenia syndrome and absence of an infra-hepatic IVC may be present (47)(48)(49).…”
