Imaging in ductal plate malformations

چکیده
Ductal plate malformations are a heterogenous group of congenital fibrocystic liver diseases resulting from insult to the ductal plate at various stages of embryogenesis. As a result various biliary malformations, cysts, hamartomas and congenital hepatic fibrosis may be seen. We present a radiological pictorial of ductal plate malformations, accurate diagnosis of which is important for clinical management.

متن کاملDevelopment of the human intrahepatic biliary system.
In the development of the human biliary system, the extrahepatic bile ducts (EHBD) develop from the embryonic hepatic diverticulum, while the intrahepatic bile ducts (IHBD) originate within the liver from the ductal plate. The ductal plate is a flat muralium of primitive biliary epithelium that develops in the mesenchyme along the branches of the portal vein, by a process which requires a delic...
