Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Wandering liver describes the phenomenon where the liver moves freely from the right side of the abdomen to the left. It is believed to be associated with a persistent ventral mesentery, and most reported cases were diagnosed during investigations of intestinal obstruction. The operative findings describe lax or absent suspensory ligaments of the liver and a long colonic mesentery. There are only a few presentations of asymptomatic wandering liver, and there is no clear course of treatment of those cases. We present a case of wandering liver in a prematurely born neonate and a review of the literature. |
