Figure 1
Intrahepatic segment 2 bile duct stenosis in a 3-year-old female after left split liver transplantation. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography image shows abrupt interruption of the biliary duct (arrow) with subsequent opacification of tiny lymphatic ducts draining towards the hepatico-jejunostomy at the hepatic hilum.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Segmental cholestasis with biliary stones in a 25-year-old female after left split liver transplantation. On the left, an axial T2-weighted sequence shows segmental bile duct dilation with a stone (arrow). On the right, the corresponding T1-weighted hepatobiliary phase image demonstrates relative hypointensity of liver parenchyma of the segment affected by bile ducts dilation, consistent with reduced uptake and biliary excretion of the contrast agent due to cholestasis.
