Abstract

Cardiac failure secondary to hepatic venous congestion is the predominant cause of mortality as cases of asplenia associated with cyanotic heart disease may present with hepatomegaly. C.T. imaging; may give, the appearance of 'Pseudotumours' secondary to hepatic venous congestion. We presents case of Ivemark syndrome with multiple hypodense areas in the liver as a recognised case of pseudotumour secondary to hepatic venous congestion. This entity should be recognised to avoid pitfall in the diagnosis of this condition and to avoid unnecessary cost and morbidity.
