[Contortion of an accessory lobe of the liver causing acute abdominal distress (author's transl)].

Abstract

Contortion of an accessory lobe of the liver occurred in a 23 year old female patient while jumping the trampoline, causing immediately the classical symptoms of acute abdominal distress. Diagnosis was established and therapy performed by surgery. Variability of liver lobes is discussed as well as therapeutic steps to be taken eventually in these cases.
