This study identified a rare congenital biliary anomaly in a Japanese woman, revealing an intersegmental duct connecting right liver segments. This finding highlights the importance of careful examination for unusual biliary anatomy.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Anatomical variations
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Aberrant bile ducts are uncommon biliary tree anatomical variations.
  • Understanding biliary ductal anatomy is crucial for surgical planning and diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 66-year-old Japanese woman presented with cholelithiasis.
  • She possessed a cystic duct draining into an aberrant bile duct.
  • An intersegmental connection was observed bridging the right anterior and posterior hepatic ducts.

Findings:

  • The intersegmental duct connection suggests a congenital etiology, unrelated to hepatic trauma.
  • This case demonstrates a rare anatomical variation in the biliary system.
  • Aberrant biliary ductal anatomy can present with complex communications.

Implications:

  • Meticulous intraoperative or imaging-based exploration is necessary to identify such biliary communications.
  • Recognition of this anomaly is important for preventing surgical complications.
  • Further research into the prevalence and clinical significance of intersegmental ducts is warranted.
