The left perihepatic space (also known as the left subhepatic space) is a potential space located between the stomach and the visceral surface of left lobe of the liver.
Gross anatomy
The left perihepatic space can be further subdivided into anterior and posterior spaces. It is a subcompartment of the left supramesocolic space.
Boundaries
- superior: visceral surface of the left lobe of the liver
- medial: capsular surface of the left lobe of the liver
- lateral: lesser curve of the stomach
- posterior: lesser omentum 1
Communications
The left perihepatic space communicates superiorly with the anterior left subphrenic space 1.
