Several techniques for decompression of portal hypertension have been described. The spleno-caval shunt is an easy and safe technique described in adult patients. However, the procedures described in adults are not adapted to children. We report an adaptation of this technique in a child, using the internal jugular vein as an interposition graft for relief of portal hypertension.
