Development of Liver Pancreas and Spleen. the Liver Is Endodermal in Origin Development of liver pancreas and spleen. The liver is Endodermal in origin. It starts developing early in the fourth week of intrauterine life. The liver bud or hepatic diverticulum arises from the ventral aspect of the caudal part of foregut. It will form the liver, gallbladder, and biliary duct system. The hepatic diverticulum grows rapidly moves ventrally and cranially and enters into septum transversum from its inferior surface. Septum transversum is a thick mesoderm plate between thoracic and abdominal cavities. The hepatic diverticulum penetrates rapidly into the septum transversum. It enlarges and expands within the septum transversum and forms liver. As a result of the enormous growth of liver, the mesenchyme of septum transversum becomes stretched and membranous thus forming 1.falciform ligament, between anterior abdominal wall and liver 2.lesser omentum between liver and abdominal part of foregut Mesenchyme of septum transversum around the developing Liver differentiates into visceral peritoneum. It forms the false capsule of liver. bare area of liver. The umbilical vein passes in the free border of the falciform ligament on its way from the umbilical cord to the liver, After birth it is obliterated to form ligamentum teres hepatic. The ventral mesentery also forms the visceral peritoneum of the liver. Lesser omentum has two components – hepato-gastric ligament. – hepato-duodenal ligament. The free margin of lesser omentum contains bile duct, portal vein and hepatic artery. In adults the right border of lesser omentum forms the anterior boundary of epiploic foramen. Epiploic foramen is the connection between lesser sac and greater sac. Histogenesis Histologically liver has three components 1. Parenchyma 2. Stroma 3. Blood vessels Before entering into sinus venosus, vitelline veins form a plexus around duodenum and pass through septum transversum. The liver cords growing into septum transversum interrupt the course of vitelline veins, and extensive vascular network called hepatic sinusoids forms. Anterior view of primitive major veins during early fourth week. Initially umbilical veins pass on each side of liver but soon they shake hand with the rapidly growing and expanding liver. The whole right umbilical vein and proximal part of left umbilical vein disappear. The distal part of left umbilical vein is the only vein to carry blood from placenta to liver. Anterior view of primitive major veins of embryonic body during fifth week. With the increase of placental circulation, a direct communication is formed between left umbilical vein and right hepato-cardiac channel. This is called ductus venosus. After birth left umbilical vein becomes ligamentum teres hepatis and ductus venosus becomes ligamentum venosum respectively. Major veins during 7th week of intra-uterine life. Major veins during 10th week of intra-uterine life. The liver grows very rapidly and, from the fourth to tenth weeks, fills a large part of the abdominal cavity. Transverse section of upper part of abdomen by the end of 4th week. Transverse section of upper part of abdomen by the end of 5th week. Initially, the right and left lobes are about the same size, but the right lobe soon becomes larger. Hematopoiesis begins during the sixth week, giving the liver a bright reddish appearance. Large nests of proliferating cells lie between hepatic cells and walls of the vessels. These cells produce red and white blood cells. This hemopoietic activity (formation of various types of blood cells and other formed elements) is mainly responsible for the relatively large size of the liver between the 7th and 10th weeks of development. The hemopoiesis begins in the liver at about the sixth week of intrauterine life (IUL) and continue till birth. The hepatocytes start secreting bile at about twelfth week (3 months) of IUL. By the 10th week, the liver accounts for about 10% of the total body weight of the fetus. This activity gradually subsides during the last two months of intrauterine life, and only small hematopoietic islands remain at birth. The weight of the liver is then only 5% of the total body weight. The proximal part of hepatic diverticulum remains narrow and forms biliary system. A small ventral bud develops from the developing bile duct. It expands distally to form gall bladder while its proximal part remains narrow and form cystic duct. The stalk connecting the hepatic and cystic ducts to the duodenum becomes the bile duct (common bile duct). Initially the extra-hepatic biliary apparatus is occluded with epithelial cells. Later on it is canalized because of vacuolization resulting from degeneration of these cells. Initially, the bile duct attaches to the ventral aspect of the duodenal loop; however, as the duodenum grows and rotates, the entrance of the bile duct is carried to the dorsal aspect of the duodenum. Hepatic cells begin to form bile during twelfth week of intrauterine life. The bile entering the duodenum through the bile duct after the thirteenth week gives the meconium a dark green color.

  • Accessory Organs of the Gastrointestinal Tract ـــ ھــــــــ دي
    .د ـــ ھــــــــدي ـــــــن Accessory Organs of the Gastrointestinal Tract Liver The liver is the largest gland in the body and lies mainly in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen (occupies most of the right hypochondrium and upper epigastrium and extends into the left hypochondrium ) where it is protected by the thoracic cage (lies deep to ribs 7-11 on the right side) and diaphragm and crosses the midline toward the left nipple. The liver may be divided into a large right lobe and a small left lobe by the attachment of the peritoneum of the falciform ligament . The right lobe is further divided into a quadrate lobe and a caudate lobe by the presence of the gallbladder, the fissure for the ligamentum teres, the inferior vena cava, and the fissure for the ligamentum venosum. Experiments have shown that, in fact, the quadrate and caudate lobes are a functional part of the left lobe of the liver. The porta hepatis, or hilum of the liver, is found on the posteroinferior surface and lies between the caudate and quadrate lobes . The upper part of the free edge of the lesser omentum is attached to its margins. In it lie the right and left hepatic ducts, the right and left branches of the hepatic artery, the portal vein, and sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers . A few hepatic lymph nodes lie here; they drain the liver and gallbladder and send their efferent vessels to the celiac lymph nodes. The liver is completely surrounded by a fibrous capsule but only partially covered by peritoneum.

  • Vascular Architecture in Anomalous Right-Sided Ligamentum Teres: Three-Dimensional Analyses in 35 Patients
    DOI:10.1111/j.1477-2574.2011.00398.x HPB ORIGINAL ARTICLE Vascular architecture in anomalous right-sided ligamentum teres: three-dimensional analyses in 35 patients Junichi Shindoh1, Masaaki Akahane2, Shoichi Satou1, Taku Aoki1, Yoshifumi Beck1, Kiyoshi Hasegawa1, Yasuhiko Sugawara1, Kuni Ohtomo2 & Norihiro Kokudo1 1Hepato-biliary-pancreatic Surgery Division, Department of Surgery and 2Department of Radiology, Graduate School of Medicine, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan Abstracthpb_398 32..41 Background: Right-sided ligamentum teres (RSLT) is a congenital anomaly that is sometimes encoun- tered during hepatobiliary surgeries. However, a valid protocol for describing the segmental anatomy of livers with RSLT has not been established, and confusions or anatomic misunderstandings have been a major problem. Methods: The vascular architecture and morphological characteristics were investigated in 35 livers with RSLT using three-dimensional (3D) simulations. Results: Couinaud's four sectors and three hepatic veins were clearly distinguished in the liver with RSLT using 3D simulations. The ligamentum teres was connected with the right paramedian portal pedicle, and the long axis of the cystic fossa was always observed on the left of the ligamentum teres in all 35 livers. However, when the main portal scissura was visualized using 3D simulation, the gallbladder was always located on the border of either side of the hemilivers, and the malposition of the gallbladder was not confirmed. Conclusions: Although the right-sided components of the livers are well developed as a result of the right-dominant distribution of the feeding vessels in livers with RSLT, the basic segmental structure defined by the four sectors and the three hepatic veins are as well preserved as those in the typical liver anatomy.

The gallbladder is affected by a large number of congenital anomalies, which may affect its location, number, size, or form. Some of these malformations are very rare and may lead to misdiagnosis. An ectopic gallbladder can be misinterpreted as agenesis of the organ or as a cystic hepatic mass when intrahepatic. Given the frequency and the wide acceptance of the ultrasonographic examination of the biliary tract, radiologists should be aware of these malformations. In some cases, ultrasonographic diagnosis can be difficult. However, the use of Computed Tomography can elucidate such cases. We present the case of a patient whose gallbladder had two combined malformations but caused no symptoms. Namely, the patient had a transverse ectopic gallbladder combined with a “Phrygian cap” deformity.

  • Forgotten Ligaments of the Anterior Abdominal Wall: Have You Heard Their Voices?
    Japanese Journal of Radiology (2019) 37:750–772 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11604-019-00869-5 INVITED REVIEW Four “fne” messages from four kinds of “fne” forgotten ligaments of the anterior abdominal wall: have you heard their voices? Toshihide Yamaoka1 · Kensuke Kurihara1 · Aki Kido2 · Kaori Togashi2 Received: 28 July 2019 / Accepted: 3 September 2019 / Published online: 14 September 2019 © Japan Radiological Society 2019 Abstract On the posterior aspect of the anterior abdominal wall, there are four kinds of “fne” ligaments. They are: the round ligament of the liver, median umbilical ligament (UL), a pair of medial ULs, and a pair of lateral ULs. Four of them (the round liga- ment, median UL, and paired medial ULs) meet at the umbilicus because they originate from the contents of the umbilical cord. The round ligament of the liver originates from the umbilical vein, the medial ULs from the umbilical arteries, and the median UL from the urachus. These structures help radiologists identify right-sided round ligament (RSRL) (a rare, but surgically important normal variant), as well as to diferentiate groin hernias. The ligaments can be involved in infamma- tion; moreover, tumors can arise from them. Unique symptoms such as umbilical discharge and/or location of pathologies relating to their embryology are important in diagnosing their pathologies. In this article, we comprehensively review the anatomy, embryology, and pathology of the “fne” abdominal ligaments and highlight representative cases with emphasis on clinical signifcance. Keywords Hepatic round ligament · Right-sided round ligament · Umbilical ligament · Groin hernia Introduction Anatomy On the posterior wall of the anterior abdominal wall, there Four “fne” ligaments of the posterior aspect of the anterior are forgotten ligaments.

  • Frequency of Anatomical Variations and Congenital Anomalies in Pancreatobiliary Tract Through Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography
    Original Article Frequency of Anatomical Variations and Congenital Anomalies in Pancreatobiliary Tract through Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography Imran Ishaque 1 , Naveed Ali Siddqui 2 , Mahveen 3 , Jay Kreshan 4 , Sara 5 , Amber Ilyas 6 Abstract Objective: To determine the frequency of anatomical variations and congenital anomalies of pancreatobiliary tract in adults through the Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was done on patients suspected to have pancreatobiliary disease referred to MRI unit. MRCP was performed on a 1.5 Tesla in MR unit, using phased-array coil for signal detection. Heavily T2 weighted images were obtained with SSF-SE tech- nique. Axial and coronal source images and reformatted images were evaluated together for the pos- sibility of any anomaly and variation in pancreatobiliary tract. Analysis was done by SPSS version 20. Results: Total no of 377 patients included in this study. The patients presented with epigastric pain, obstructive jaundice, pancreatitis and post-cholecystectomy epigastric pain and jaundice. MRCP was performed on these patients to examine the pancreatobiliary tract. In this study, 52% were females and 48% were males. The variations and anomalies were found in 24.93 and 75.07% had normal anatomy of pancreatobiliary tract. The most observed frequency was low insertion of cystic duct and least observed frequency was duct of Santorini. High insertion of cystic duct, absent gallbladder and aberrant hepatic ducts were not found in this study. Conclusion: Majority of the patients in this study were found to be free from pancreatobiliary disease. It is important to clarify the anatomy of the pancreatobiliary tract by preoperative evaluation.
