The hepatoduodenal ligament is a part of the lesser omentum that extends from the porta hepatis to the superior duodenum. It contains the hepatic artery, portal vein, common bile duct, and hepatic lymph nodes. We will review the anatomy, as well as cross-sectional imaging findings of a wide spectrum of anatomical variants, diseases, and neoplasms that can occur within its boundaries.

1.Overview of the anatomy of the hepatoduodenal ligament, with diagrams, reformatted CT and MR images, 3D reconstructions, and endoscopic/surgical correlation; 2.Case-based review of cross-sectional findings in congenital (eg, type I choledochal cyst), infectious (eg, portal thrombophlebitis), inflammatory (eg, pancreatic pseudocyst), vascular (eg, hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm), and neoplastic processes (eg, ganglioneuroma) that can occur within this unique anatomic space.
