“…The congenital abnormalities of the UPVS is frequently associated with other anomalies, such as biliary tract atresia, polysplenia, and cardiac malformations [Richards and Locksmith, 1998; Massin et al, 1999; Shinkai et al, 2001; Northrup et al, 2002]. A few cases have been reported in association with genetic syndromes: three cases with Noonan syndrome [Leonidas and Fellows, 1976; Currarino et al, 1991; Tordjeman et al, 1996], two cases with the facio‐auricolo‐vertebral spectrum, also known as Goldenhar syndrome [Kalifa et al, 1978; Morse et al, 1986], and one case with Ellis Van Creveld syndrome [Rahemtullah et al, 2001].…”

Congenital anomalies of the umbilical and portal venous system are rare vascular malformations which are often associated with anomalies of the heart and gastrointestinal tract. Association with chromosomal disorders has been sporadically reported. We now report on two patients with trisomy 21 and congenital anomalies of the umbilico-portal system. A male fetus showed absence of the intrahepatic portal vein (PV) and ductus venosus with a direct communication between portal sinus and inferior vena cava exhibiting an umbilicosystemic total shunt during the fetal life and a portosystemic total shunt after birth. A female infant showed absence of the intrahepatic PV and a total portocaval shunt. Both patients also had heart defects. As previously documented in other reports, our cases demonstrated that this association may be causally-related to the chromosomal aberration. In addition, the umbilico-portal venous system abnormalities seems to be the most frequent congenital vascular malformation in Down syndrome. A presumptive pathogenetic mechanism could be a trisomy 21-related altered angiogenesis of the vitelloumbilical plexus.

A rare case of an anomalous umbilical vein with a previously unreported outcome is described. Most reported cases of anomalous umbilical veins are associated with significant concurrent fetal anomalies and poor outcomes. Fetal magnetic resonance imaging was used in this case to confirm normal portal and hepatic venous vasculature. No other fetal anomalies were identified on ultrasound. The infant was delivered at term and is healthy at the age of 8 months. Parental anxiety regarding the diagnosis was the only adverse consequence of this incidental finding.
