“…Joshi et.al., [12] reported a higher incidence of accessory fissures in both caudate lobe and quadrate lobe to be 18% and 20% respectively which is much higher when compared to the present study. Sunitha Vinnakota [15] reported the highest incidence of accessory fissures on the inferior surface of the livers to be 53.44%. and quadrate lobe be 35.48%.…”

Background and Aims: The sources of information of the Diaphragmatic Fissures and Accessory Sulci of Liver are only the research reports. Routine anatomy Textbooks do not even mention them. Extensively research has been done on the segmental anatomy of liver but work done on diaphragmatic fissures and accessory sulci of liver is scanty. The present study can make a significant contribution to the existing literature. Hepatology is complete only with the knowledge of these fissures and sulci. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried on 45 cadaveric [40 Male and 5 Female] livers. The mean age of the cadavers ranges between 25-65 years. All the surfaces of the harvested livers were meticulously observed and photographed. Result: In the present study the diaphragmatic fissures and accessory fissures were seen in 14(31.11%)] livers. 12 (26.66%) livers showed diaphragmatic and accessory fissures on the right lobe and two (4.44%) showed on left lobe. The deep diaphragmatic fissures seen on the antero superior surface, postero superior surface caused notched appearance of the liver. The fissures were ranging from shallow to deep, narrow to broad, single to multiple. Two liver specimens showed the furrowing of the diaphragmatic muscle fibers making indentations on the entire right lateral surface. 3 livers on their inferior surfaces showed the presence of accessory fissures. About 3 (6.66%) caudate lobes showed accessory fissures. In the present study none of the quadrate lobes showed any accessory fissures. Conclusion: The present study throws light on the frequency of occurrence of diaphragmatic fissures and accessory sulci on different surfaces of liver. The results of the present study may be gainfully utilized by Forensic specialist during postmortem study, Radiologists reporting the abdominal sonograms, C.T. and M.R.I scans and Hepato-biliary Surgeons operating on Livers.

“…It seems that they are more frequently encountered on the right lobe, followed by quadrate lobe [6]. Interestingly, they can be seen in 6-53% of cases, although, the data about this anomaly is not abundantly present in the literature [6,7]. ALF are in 47% multiple (from 2 to 6) [8,9].…”

The advances of our knowledge of the anatomical structure of the liver led to the development of complicated interventional procedures, which have became more widely used in the last decades. Accessory liver fissures are a frequent anomaly that can lead to complications during diagnostic and surgical procedures. In our article, we present a description of two cases of accessory liver fissures and a review of their clinical significance.

show abstract

“…In the present study, one liver had accessory fissures on both right and left lobes (figure 8) and another liver had accessory fissure on the left lobe (figure 7). Vinnakota et al [23] studied 54 liver specimens and found 10 livers with right lobe accessory fissures and six livers with left lobe accessory fissures. Mamatha Y et al [24] found 10% livers with right and left lobe accessory fissures.…”

Background: liver is a largest gland in our body but congenital abnormalities of liver are rare. Hepatic anomalies can be due to defective development or due to excessive development of the liver. Aims: to study various anomalies of liver morphology collected from cadavers. Materials and methods: A total of 30 formalin fixed cadaveric livers (n=30), irrespective of the sex, were taken for this study in the Department of Anatomy, Silchar Medical College, Silchar and Gauhati Medical College, Guwahati, Assam. Four abnormal livers were found. These livers were then preserved and studied under day light. Results: Four livers under study were examined and different types of morphological variations were observed among them. Conclusion: Anomalies in liver morphology are important for radiologist to prevent confusion during imaging and also help surgeons to plan surgeries.
