    Hepatic pseudolesion around the falciform ligament: Prevalence, aberrant venous supply, and fatty infiltration evaluated by multidetector computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007) Genchellac, Hakan; Yilmaz, Sabri; Ucar, Adem; Dursun, Memduh; Demir, Mustafa Kemal; Yekeler, Ensar
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and aberrant venous supply (inferior veins of Sappey) of hypoattenuating hepatic pseudolesions seen around the falciform ligament on portal-dominant phase multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and the frequency of fatty infiltration of these pseudolesions on chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging. Materials and Methods: Portal-dominant phase abdominal MDCT examinations of 728 patients were evaluated for the presence of a pseudolesion around the falciform ligament, and those with a presumed pseudolesion underwent chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging to detect the fatty infiltration. Reconstructed MDCT images were investigated for the presence of an inferior vein of Sappey, and 30 patients without a pseudolesion were evaluated as a control group. Results: A total of 160 pseudolesions Were detected around the falciform ligament in 146 (20%) patients. The longest diameter of the pseudolesions was in the craniocaudal direction in most patients (61%). An inferior vein of Sappey supplying these pseudolesions was depicted in 40 (27%) patients, and it was highly significant (P = 0.001) compared with the controls for the presence of a pseudolesion around the falciform ligament. Fatty infiltration was found in 47 (29%) patients. Conclusions: Hepatic pseudolesions around the falciform ligament are frequently encountered on portal-dominant phase MDCT images. Detection of craniocaudal extension, inferior veins of Sappey, and fatty infiltration of these pseudolesions, which were firstly described in this article, with the largest subject group based on cross-sectional imaging, might be valuable in excluding true tumors.

    Two-detector Computed Tomography Map of the Inferior Epigastric Vessels for Percutaneous Transabdominal Intervention Procedures
    (2014) Gençhellaç, Hakan; Dursun, Memduh; Temizöz, Osman; Çağlı, Bekir; Demir, Mustafa K.
    Background:It is crucial to know anatomic variations and the exact course of an inferior epigastric artery (IEA) to prevent any complica-tions during percutaneous abdominal interventions. Aims:The aim of this study was to map the inferior epigastric ves-sels using reconstructed two-detector computed tomography images and measure the distance from the inferior epigastric artery (IEA) to the midline to determine a safe route for percutaneous abdominal interventions. Study Design: Retrospective comparative study.Methods:Coronal reconstructed two-detector computed tomogra-phy images of 200 patients were evaluated to measure the distances between the IEA and midline at three levels (origin, middle, and dis-tal). Vein and artery arrangements were documented.Results:The most frequently encountered arrangement (41.5%) was a single vein and artery on both sides. Mean distances on the right and left sides were 4.01 and 4.47 cm at the umbilical level, 3.81 and 4.26 cm at the midlevel, and 5.62 and 5.51 cm at the origin level. On both sides, measurement differences between the three levels were highlysignificant (p<0.05). In addition, a total of 56 IEA bifurcations were depicted in all 200 patients. Thirteen of the 56 bifurcations occurredonly on the right side, 11 only on the left side, and 32 on both sides.Conclusion:It is important to be attentive to the IEA's course, at different midline levels, when attempting percutaneous interventions via an abdominal approach.
