Abstract

Ligamentum falciforme separates liver from the left lateral and medial segments along the umbilical fissure and suspends the liveron the anterior wall of the abdomen. The ligamentum teres hepatis is a remnant of the obliterated umbilical vein, which lies on thefree edge of the falciform ligament. Moreover, it contains paraumbilical venules, muscle fibers, various fatty tissue amounts, andtwo mesothelial layers. Pathologies of the falciform ligament are considerably rare. The ligament is usually secondarily affected bysurrounding inflammatory diseases. Because of its rarity, necrosis, or abscess of the falciform ligament is usually misdiagnosed as anabdominal wall abscess, and inappropriate treatment leads to the lesion’s persistence and complications. Surgical resection is thetherapy of choice. The main purpose is to remind that respiratory problems can be the primary complaint of the patient who appliesto the emergency room with falciform necrosis secondary to acute pancreatitis.

Özet

Ligamentum falciforme, karaciğeri umblikal fissür boyunca sol lateral ve medial segmentlere ayırır ve karaciğeri karnın ön duvarında askıya alır. Ligamentum teres hepatis, falciform ligamentin serbest kenarında yer alan oblitere umbilikal ven kalıntısıdır. Ayrıca paraumbilikal venüller, kas lifleri, çeşitli miktarda yağlı dokuları ve iki yaprak mezotel tabakası içerir. Falciform ligamentin patolojileri oldukça nadirdir. Ligament genellikle çevredeki iltihaplı hastalıklara ikincil olarak etkilenir. Nadir görülmesi nedeniyle, falciform ligament apsesi ya da nekrozu genellikle yanlışlıkla karın duvarı apsesi olarak tanı alır ve uygun olmayan tedavi lezyonun kalıcı ve komplike hale gelmesine neden olur. Tedavide tercih edilen cerrahi rezeksiyondur. Bu olgu sunumunun ana amacı; akut pankreatite ikincil olarak falsiform ligament nekrozu ile acil servise başvuran hastanın başlıca şikayetinin solunum problemleri olabileceğini göstermektir
