Signs were nonspecific in 2 animals that did not have an obvious cause for the hepatic torsion. These signs consisted of lethargy (2), polyuria\/polydypsia (2), and anorexia (1). In the other 2 animals, signs were suggestive of the underlying cause of the hepatic lobe torsion. In 1 dog, the torsion was associated with a traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. The cat had a concurrent hemoabdomen secondary to a ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma. Bloodwork abnormalities were nonspecific. Twisted liver lobes included the left lateral lobe (2), the caudate lobe (1), and the right medial lobe (1). Surgical resection (2) or repositioning (1) of the affected liver lobe was attempted in the 3 dogs, and was successful in 2.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:bold>Hepatic lobe torsion is a rare problem but has been reported in humans, rabbits, dogs, pigs, a cat, and a horse. The left lateral liver lobe is most frequently affected. This condition may be idiopathic or associated with neoplasia or absence of ligamentous support (congenital or traumatic) to the liver.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Clinical Relevance\u2014<\/jats:bold>Prompt surgical resection or repositioning of the involved liver lobe can lead to a successful outcome, avoiding the deleterious effects of venous obstruction such as thrombosis and subsequent necrosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1053\/jvet.2001.25877","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,8,25]],"date-time":"2002-08-25T03:46:10Z","timestamp":1030247170000},"page":"482-486","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Hepatic lobe torsion in 3 dogs and a cat"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Heather M.","family":"Swann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dorothy Cimino","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_4_2_2","first-page":"455","article-title":"Hepatic torsion and dislocation with hypotension and colonic obstruction","volume":"59","author":"Tate P","year":"1993","journal-title":"Am Surg"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/030098587501200103"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_4_2","first-page":"506","article-title":"Liver lobe torsion in a rabbit","volume":"37","author":"Wilson RB","year":"1987","journal-title":"Lab Anim Sci"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_5_2","first-page":"225","article-title":"Liver lobe torsion in a dog","volume":"183","author":"Tomlinson J","year":"1983","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_6_2","first-page":"438","article-title":"Liver torsion and associated bacterial peritonitis in a dog","volume":"38","author":"McConkey S","year":"1997","journal-title":"Can Vet J"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"678","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1998.212.05.678","article-title":"Liver lobe torsion and liver abscess in a dog","volume":"212","author":"Downs MO","year":"1998","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_8_2","first-page":"179","article-title":"Torsion of a liver lobe in a dog","volume":"38","author":"Perl S","year":"1981","journal-title":"Refuah Vet"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_9_2","first-page":"458","article-title":"Torsion of the left lateral and papillary lobes of the liver in a pup\u2014A case report","volume":"134","author":"Woolfe DT","year":"1959","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_10_2","first-page":"440","article-title":"Torsion of abdominal organs in sows: A report of 36 cases","volume":"25","author":"Morin M","year":"1984","journal-title":"Can Vet J"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.106.16.362"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-950X.1993.tb00403.x"}],"container-title":["Veterinary Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1053%2Fjvet.2001.25877","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1053\/jvet.2001.25877","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,3]],"date-time":"2024-01-03T22:09:27Z","timestamp":1704319767000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1053\/jvet.2001.25877"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2001,9]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2001,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1053\/jvet.2001.25877"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1053\/jvet.2001.25877","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0161-3499","1532-950X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0161-3499","type":"print"},{"value":"1532-950X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2001,9]]}}}
