ABSTRACT
A 15-month-old, male minipig was presented with a clinical history of seizure activity for one year. The minipig was the smallest among the littermates and was referred due to an elevated blood ammonia level with suspected portosystemic shunt (PSS). Ultrasound and CT angiography were consistent with a congenital extrahepatic PSS. To the author's knowledge, this is the first description of a congenital extrahepatic PSS diagnosed by ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography in a minipig (pig). Partial shunt closure was performed by interventional stent application.
