A 64-year-old woman treated for anemia and ascites exhibited hepatic encephalopathy. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) showed communication between the portal vein and the middle hepatic vein, indicating an intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt (PSS). Since hepatic encephalopathy of the patient was resistant to medical treatment, interventional radiology was performed for...

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine whether mean platelet volume value and/or neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio values are useful as a predictive marker for gestational cholestasis.STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of the data patients diagnosed with pregnancy cholestasis between 2018-2019 in perinatology clinic. 352 pregnant women were enrolled study (122 Intrahepatic group and 230 no morbidity con...

BACKGROUND Sickle cell intrahepatic cholestasis is a potentially catastrophic complication of sickle cell anemia Once acute liver failure develops, transplantation is the only option. We describe a patient with sickle cell intrahepatic cholestasis who underwent liver transplantation. METHODS Data were obtained from the chart. Serial hemoglobin S levels were monitored, and measures were taken ...

Cholangiocarcinoma represents a diverse group of epithelial cancers united by late diagnosis and poor outcomes. Specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are undertaken for cholangiocarcinomas of different anatomical locations (intrahepatic, perihilar, and distal). Mixed hepatocellular cholangiocarcinomas have emerged as a distinct subtype of primary liver cancer. Clinicians need to be awa...

Liver resection is the definitive treatment for several benign and malignant liver diseases. Experience with laparoscopic procedures and recent advances in laparoscopic devices have created an evolving interest in the application of these techniques to liver resection. However, laparoscopic liver resections may be technically demanding. Pedicle control is an important step of liver resection. A...

Among several diagnostic tools for clonorchiasis (Clonorchis sinensis infection), radiologic examinations are commonly used in clinical practices. During the 2 past decades, many reports regarding imaging findings of clonorchiasis were introduced. The basic imaging finding of clonorchiasis is diffuse dilatation of the peripheral intrahepatic bile ducts, without dilation of the large intrahepati...

PURPOSE To study the clinical value of intrahepatic injections of Highly Agglutinative Staphylococcin (HAS) in the interventional treatment of liver carcinomas. METHODS Under ultrasonic guidance, intrahepatic injections of HAS were administered in 22 cases of pathologically diagnosed liver carcinomas, 3 days, 7 days, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months after microwave coagula...

Primary adenosquamous cell carcinoma of the liver, a variant of cholangiocarcinoma is very rare disease and its prognosis is known to be very poor. We describe here a case of primary adenosquamous carcinoma of the liver. The patient was a 60-year-old woman who complained of an eight-month history of intermittent upper abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography scan revealed a low density mas...

BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide and the incidence is increasing as a result of growing hepatitis B and C virus infections. Primary clear cell carcinoma of the liver (PCCCL) is a rare subgroup of primary HCC, which has low metastatic potential and infrequently reported in literature. Retroperitoneal and intrahepatic metastasis of P...

The main goal of segmental technique is to preserve the maximum amount of liver parenchyma. Liver-preserving techniques are especially important for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis. We report the technique for segmental liver resection in cirrhotic patients and detail technical difficulties and immediate surgical outcome. For right segmental liver resections the intrahepati...
