Anatomical study of Accessory Sulci of Liver and its Clinical Significance In North Indian Population
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Abnormalities of liver are rare inspite of its complex development in the ventral mesogastrium; common abnormalities are irregularities in form, occurrence of Accessory sulci (AS) or presence of cysts. Anatomy textbooks lack data on the presence of AS of the liver, research reports being the only source of information. Research studies have mainly described the diaphragmatic sulci in the liver; however there are no research reports on the presence of accessory sulci on the inferior surface of the liver. Accessory sulcus can be incidentally detected during radiological procedures, routine autopsies or anatomical dissections. The main aim of the present study is to explore the presence of anomalous AS in cadaveric liver and to compare it with the normal liver. The present study was conducted in the department of Anatomy M.R.A. Medical College Ambedkar Nagar and S.R.M.S. Institute of Medical Sciences Bareilly U.P. The materials used for present study comprises 36 adult livers with age range from 18 to 70 years. Livers were carefully studied for the presence of AS and the findings were appropriately documented. In the present study we found accessory sulci and grooves in 8 cadavers (14.5%). The findings of the study may be gainfully utilised by imaging specialists and surgeons respectively, to avoid possible errors in interpretations and subsequent misdiagnosis, and for planning appropriate surgical approaches.
