Twenty-seven children with congenital hepatic fibrosis [a recessive autosomal disease] were followed for 3 mo.-12 yr. Hepatosplenomegaly, normal liver function tests and kidney abnormalities were present in most patients, indicating that a correct diagnosis of congenital hepatic fibrosis could be made using simple clinical, biologic and radiologic criteria. Esophageal endoscopy showed varices in 21 patients. Sixteen children underwent portal-systemic shunt surgery. Follow-up examinations did not show any impairment of liver function or any sign of hepatic encephalopathy. Cholangitis was present in only 3 children.
