BACKGROUND The configuration of the hepatic arteries is known to vary substantially between individuals. Here, we report a rare retroperitoneal configuration of an accessory hepatic artery existing alongside a left and right hepatic artery branching from the proper hepatic artery.

Article Synopsis
- * About 80% of GISTs have mutations in KIT or PDGFRA that affect how they behave and respond to treatment; a special type called SDH-deficient GISTs is linked to certain genetic syndromes and presents different challenges.
- * The primary treatment involves surgery and the drug imatinib for advanced cases, but resistance to treatment is a major issue, particularly in kids and wildtype GISTs, highlighting the need for better therapies and personalized treatment approaches.
Rare triad of anomalous biliary anatomy (pancreaticobiliary maljunction), choledochal cyst and cholangiocarcinoma in a 45-year-old white male: A case report.

Department of Radiology, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, USA.
Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is a congenital anomaly where the pancreatic and bile ducts join outside the duodenal wall, resulting in formation of an elongated common channel. In normal physiology, the sphincter of Oddi regulates the junction between the pancreatic and bile ducts. Individuals with PBM lack this regulatory mechanism resulting in reflux of pancreatic juices into the biliary tract.

Article Synopsis
- The primary causes of mediastinal emphysema/pneumomediastinum include oesophageal perforation, lung issues, or complications from head and neck surgery.
- Differentiating these causes can be effectively done using Computed Tomographic Imaging of the thorax and abdomen, utilizing oral and intravenous contrast in a triple phase approach.
- Oesophageal perforation, known as Boerhaave syndrome, may present with Mackler's triad (severe chest pain, pneumomediastinum, mediastinitis) in about 50% of patients, while lung pathologies might present with pneumothorax and pleural effusion.
