title: [Anatomo-surgical aspects of the liver in situs inversus].
abstract: The hepatic veins and the intra-parenchymal branches of the portal vein and of the hepatic artery were dissected in two isolated livers form subjects with situs inversus. As a general observation, the intra-hepatic distribution of the portal vein in these cases represented a "looking-glass image" of the normal liver. The intra-hepatic branches differ from the normal by the presence of a large interarterial anastomotic canal in one of the cases. In the other case branches were found, of the left hepatic artery, for the upper sub-segments of the right lobe, that were irrigated from the venous standpoint, by the right branch of the portal vein.
