Association of oesophageal atresia and cholecystohepatic duct.

A rare hepatobiliary malformation in which the common hepatic duct drains directly into the gallbladder or the cystic duct (cholecystohepatic duct) is described in two children born with oesophageal atresia. Attention is drawn to the rarity of this combination. A brief review of the literature of cholecystohepatic and accessory hepatic ducts is also presented.
