Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by vascular dysplasia. Hepatic Vascular Malformations (VMs) range from small telangiectases to significant shunting. Here we report two cases of HHT. Case 1 had diffuse ectasia the hepatic artery along its intrahepatic and extrahepatic course with a arterial aneurysm. 2 presented ileal telangiectases. K...

rats were treated with acetylsalicylic acid (150 mgikg b.w.per os daily) or naproxen (125 mg/kg b.w. per os daily) for six weeks. half of the rats received silymarin (17.5 mgikg b.w. per os daily) in the last three weeks of the experiment. it was found tliat administration of acetylsalicylic acid led to signs of hepatic damage (an increase in serum bilirubin level, alanine aminotransferase and ...

Hemihepatectomy along with portal vein or hepatic artery replacement in dogs was well tolerated, but combined with replacement of both vessels it was lethal because of outflow block and shock. Total liver blood flow should be kept as high as possible during such procedures in man.

We describe a 58 year old woman who had an aneurysm involving the common hepatic artery, the right and left hepatic arteries and the cystic artery which had ruptured into the liver. It was successfully treated by proximal ligation. The features and management of hepatic artery aneurysm are discussed.

OBJECTIVES Hepatic encephalopathy is a complex of neuropsychiatric manifestations in patients with acute or chronic liver insufficiency and/or porto-systemic shunts. MATERIAL AND METHODS The diagnostic can be sustained by various elements, clinical and paraclinical. Selected patients with hepatic encephalopathy have been investigated by Magnetic Resonance, in parallel with specific biochemica...

congenital hepatic fibrosis (chf) is a rare disease that affects both the liver and kidneys.  congenital hepatic fibrosis (chf) is an autosomal recessive inherited malformation defined pathologically by a variable degree of periportal fibrosis and irregularly shaped proliferating bile ducts. affected individuals also have impaired renal function, usually caused, in children and teenagers, by an...

paracetamol (acetaminophen, pcm) is a widely used over-the-counter analgesic and antipyretic drug. intake of a large dose of pcm may result in severe hepatic necrosis. oxidative stress is mediated by oxidative capacities of the pcm metabolite (n-acetyl-para-benzo quinoneimine, napqi), which covalently binds to proteins and other macromolecules to cause cellular damage. at low doses, napqi is co...

Extrahepatic biliary system presents with numerous variations. Anatomical knowledge of the cystic duct, common hepatic duct, common bile duct and the surrounding vessels is necessary to avoid iatrogenic ductal injuries and inadvertent complications during biliary surgery. This study reports the presence of duplicated cystic duct in a fifty-year old male cadaver. The gallbladder in this case was...
