“…Hepatic herniation through the anterior abdominal wall is an uncommon complication following sternotomy. Al Ani et al in 2017 reported the case of a 66-year-old woman who presented with postprandial abdominal pain and was found to have a hepatic hernia 3 years post-sternotomy for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG),3 in 2015, Ansari et al described hepatic herniation in another 66-year-old woman also 3 years post-sternotomy for CABG 4. In 2014, a 90-year-old woman presenting with epigastric pain and vomiting was found to have herniation of the liver 6 years following valve replacement surgery,5 and in 2012, Warbrick-smith et al reported the case of an 81-year-old man managed for cholecystitis and found to have hepatic herniation 7 years following a CABG 6…”

Herniation of the liver through the anterior abdominal wall is a rare post-sternotomy complication. A 32-year-old woman had a 2-week wait referral due to abdominal pain, weight loss and upper abdominal swelling. She was known to have a left adrenal myelolipoma and had a mitral valve replacement 3 years prior to presentation with the postoperative period complicated by sepsis and poor wound healing. She had recently been started on metformin for type 2 diabetes mellitus and she had long-standing lower abdominal symptoms known to the gynaecology team. Investigations revealed hepatic herniation of liver segments II & III through the anterior abdominal wall while there was no underlying malignancy a benign left adrenal myelolipoma was noted.

Budd-Chiari syndrome due to right hepatic lobe herniation: CT image findings of two rare clinical conditions

2017

Hepatic herniation is a rare clinical condition. Most commonly it is associated with congenital diaphragmatic herniation or acquired through blunt diaphragmatic trauma. We present a case of a right hepatic lobe incisional hernia in a 75-year-old female who underwent partial right-sided nephrectomy 52 years previously. Evidence of partial Budd-Chiari syndrome was seen on CT scan that was presumed to be as a result of traction of the herniated liver. As far as we are aware this is the first case of a right-sided hepatic hernia with evidence of partial Budd-Chiari syndrome. The patient was treated conservatively with anticoagulation and analgesia.
