Anomalous Hepatic Veins: An Anatomical description with Clinical Significance

Deepika, Preeti Goswami, Sabita Mishra

Abstract :

 The current report highlights the accessory hepatic veins draining into the retrohepatic part of inferior vena cava (RHIVC) after traversing significant length of extrahepatic course. We have also tried to endue knowledge of surgically significant tributaries of right hepatic vein (RHV). While performing devisceration of abdominal cavity we encountered a liver harbouring multiple anomalous hepatic veins. Three of them emerged from the posterior surface of liver drained independently into the RHIVC after traversing measurable length of extrahepatic course. Other two variant veins drained into RHV just proximal to its aperture in the wall of inferior vena cava (IVC). The RHIVC was curved towards left and partially covered by caudate lobe. The existence of the anomalous hepatic veins must be acknowledged by hepatobiliary surgeons performing liver surgeries, obtaining living donor graft or split liver graft in order to avoid vascular accidents.
