Abstract

A twenty years old male college student came with history of hemoptysis. His chest X-ray showed diffuse infiltrative shadows and he was diagnosed as a case of a case of pulmonary tuberculosis with hemoptysis. On detailed investigations he was found to have Abernethy malformation Type-II with primitive portal vein joining extrahepatic inferior vanacava leading to cirrhosis of liver, porto-pulmonary syndrome, pulmonary arterial hypertension and hemoptysis.
