2023年10月29日 · The falciform ligament is a broad and thin peritoneal ligament. It is sickle-shaped and a remnant of the ventral mesentery of the fetus.

The ligamentum teres (round ligament) is seen as a hyperechoic zone at the free edge of the falciform ligament on intraoperative ultrasound. The left portal vein terminates here, giving off its branches to segment 3 and 4b.

2022年12月10日 · The term falciform ligament is derived from Latin, meaning sickle shaped. It is a broad and thin fold of peritoneum that anchors the anterior surface of the liver to the anterior abdominal wall. It is used to separate the anatomic right and left liver lobes.

A normal falciform ligament on ultrasound appears as an echogenic structure of variable thickness owing to a variable amount of fat present along the free edge of the ligament. In cases of preexisting conditions such as portal hypertension, the recanalized umbilical vein may be seen along the ligament.

2012年11月23日 · Correlation of ultrasound and CT examinations indicate that these echoes represent the falciform ligament. This normal anatomic structure can be differentiated from an intrahepatic mass by attention to its consistent location and alteration of its configuration by experimenting with the transducer axis during the examination.

2013年10月14日 · Necrosis of falciform ligament is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain and can mimic the clinical presentation of cholecystitis, perforated duodenal ulcer and pancreatitis. Ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) is …

Torsion of the fatty appendage of the falciform ligament is an extremely rare condition that leads to severe abdominal pain and raised inflammatory markers. It can be recognised on ultrasound or CT scan. The pathophysiology is the same as that involved in the more common torsion and/or infarction of the greater omentum or epiploic appendages.
