摘要：

A child with trisomy 21 had altered mental status and hyperammonemia at presentation and was found to have a congenital portosystemic shunt as a result of a congenital abnormality of the portal venous system. Anomalies of the portal venous system leading to portosystemic shunting, although they are infrequent, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hyperammonemia.
