Hepatopulmonary syndrome has three components: liver disease, pulmonary vascular dilatation, and a defect in oxygenation. If hypoxemia and dyspnea develop in these patients in the absence of known intrinsic cardiopulmonary disorder, the hepatopulmonary syndrome must be considered. Clinical features include digital clubbing, cyanosis, spider neavi. It is a rare complication of liver disease of varied etiology and indicates a poor prognosis. We are reporting a case of severe clubbing of fingers associated with severe cyanosis and chronic liver disorder in a very young girl to highlight that other causes also should be thought of in addition to cyanotic congenital heart disease in such a young age.
