ABSTRACT
Torsion of an abdominal organ often leads to an acute abdomen requiring emergency surgery. This report describes the rare case of an acute liver torsion in a 76-year-old man. Surgery revealed dislocation of the left liver lobe, which was flipped over to the right upper abdomen. There was a hypermobile and long falciform ligament and absence of the triangular ligaments. The liver was manually flipped back with subsequent fixation of the umbilical ligament to the diaphragm to prevent reoccurrence. The patient had an uneventful recovery and is doing well 3 months after surgery with good liver function.
