Abstract

In this chapter we present the congenital anomalies of the hepatic vasculature system and biliary tract. The alterations are determined during the complex development that occurs between the fourth and the tenth weeks of embryonic life together with the ductal plate malformation; they constitute the basis for the study and understanding of the following paragraphs.
