Core Tip	In Western countries, less than 10% of portal hypertension cases are caused by non-cirrhotic portal hypertension, including intrahepatic arterioportal fistula (IAPF). IAPF is a condition characterized by abnormal communication between the portal vein and the hepatic artery that most often occurs secondary to surgery, trauma, transhepatic intervention or biopsy. Currently, only 35 cases of congenital IAPF have been reported. To better understand the clinicopathological presentation of this type of portal hypertension, IAPF-induced PH confirmed by angiography was studied in four patients. Because congenital hepatic arterioportal fistulae are rare, they are often misdiagnosed.
