Abstract:
Existing descriptions of liver abnormalities in ataxia-telangiectasia have been associated with co-existent hepatitis virus infection. Here we report veno-occlusive disease of the liver in 2 patients with ataxia telangiectasia that is not attributable to bone marrow transplantation or coincidental hepatitis infection.
