An anatomical variant of the extrahepatic bile duct is presented, as true gallbladder duplication. Congenital malformations are categorized into positional and morphologic abnormalities, duplication being included in latter.The accepted classification Boyden's. Based on relationship cystic with vesicular body, he described “vesica fellea divisa” (bilobed vesicle that drains a single shares comm...

Pericardial cysts classically are found in the right or left cardiophrenic angle and rarely are located outside of this location. An 82-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic cystic mass on chest CT-scan located in the upper right mediastinum and measuring 7 x 6 x 4 cm. A follow-up chest CT-scan 12 months later showed that the cyst had increased in size to where it now measured 10 x 9 x 8 ...

Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a congenital heart disease in which the great arteries (aorta and main pulmonary artery) arise from the right ventricle (RV), with concomitant ventricular septal defect (VSD), usually non-restrictive. Double outlet right ventricle can be accompanied by other cardiovascular anomalies, such as ventricular hypoplasia, restrictive septal defects and various p...

The incidence of vascular injury remains a problematic complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, due to the anatomic variations of the cystic artery. Therefore, the focus of this study was to investigate the origin, course, and termination of the cystic artery using dual source computed tomography. Currently, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has emerged as a golden standard in the treatmen...

Prenatal ultrasound showing a double bubble is considered to be pathognomonic of duodenal atresia. We recently encountered an infant with prenatal findings suggestive of duodenal atresia with a normal karyotype who actually had a jejunal duplication cyst on exploration. A finding of an antenatal double bubble should lead to a thorough evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract and appropriate pre...

Background/Introduction Anomalies of ventriculoarterial connection with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction such as transposition of the great arteries, double-outlet right ventricle, double-outlet left ventricle, and Taussig-Bing anomaly had a wide variety of spectrum, and several operative techniques have been performed according to diverse an...

In three infant cases of double outlet right ventricle (DORV), two with normally related great arteries (NGA) and one with side-by-side great arteries, a transatrial repair was carried out. In all three cases, the results were excellent. It is concluded that in the small baby with DORV with NGA and in DORV with side-by-side great arteries with a hypoplastic crista, a transatrial repair should b...

We report herein the case of a 76-year-old woman with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and chronic renal failure resulting in intractable abdominal distension and anorexia. Computed tomography (CT) showed enlarged and cystic kidneys. We performed transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for renal arteries with ethanol. Absolute ethanol with iodinated contrast medium or Lipi...

Vascular variations in and around the porta hepatis are common. A sound knowledge of possible variations at these sites is vital for surgeons during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and surgical resection of the liver lobes. We report the case of several variations of the hepatic and cystic arteries in which, the common hepatic artery trifurcated into the gastroduodenal, right hepatic, and left hep...
