Abstract
An anomalous direct connection between the left hepatic vein and the coronary sinus in two cadavers is described. The normal development of the central systemic venous system with particular reference to the hepatic region is reviewed and a possible explanation for the present configuration is put forth. Although this configuration of venous anomaly without abnormal shunting of blood is considered clinically insignificant, the association of cardiac arrhythmias with these variations heightens the importance of their identification.
