Abstract

The authors are reporting an exceptional case of unexpected venous anastomosis between a right inferior diaphragmatic venous and a right hepatic venous discovered during a total hepatectomy before an orthotopic transplantation. Never described in the literature, this abnormality may be explained by the embryology of the transversum septum, junction of the hepatic draft and the draining tracts of the future diaphragm.
