and thin peritoneal ligament, divides the left and right subphrenic
compartments. Some pathologies of this ligament can be a rare cause of acute
abdomen. Mostly its pathologies present a challenge for diagnose. In a case who
was admitted with acute abdomen, we determined a fatty <span class="highlight2">
necrosis of the </span> <span class="highlight2">falciform ligament during surgery.
This </span> rare primary pathology of the <span class="highlight2">falciform ligament </span>
mimics falciform ligament cyst on MRI, which is another rare pathology.  </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> <b> </b> </p> <b> </b>}, number={4}, publisher={Prusa Medical Publishing}
