Summary:PV portal vein, UVV umbilical vein varix, HV hepatic vein, CA celiac artery, IVC inferior vena cava, DV ductus venosus, RA right atrium, dAo descending aortic artery, PS portal sinus, RASB right anterior superior branch of the portal vein, LMB left medial branch of the portal vein, MPV main portal vein, IPSS intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, FIUVV fetal intra-abdominal umbilical vein varix Assessment of an anatomical association of the umbilical-portal and hepatic venous system (UPHVS) is important for prenatal diagnosis of fetal anomalies, including fetal morphological and genetic abnormalities [1]. Prenatal diagnosis of IPSS is important because nonfiltered hepatic-portal venous blood could cause significant complications such as hypergalactosemia, hyperammonemia, encephalopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and heart failure, and meticulous postnatal follow-up is needed [4]. Ethical statements All the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1964 and later versions.
