Bifid liver in a patient with diaphragmatic hernia.
Liver malformations including lobe and segmental abnormalities are rare. We report a 65-year-old lady with complaints of breathlessness and fullness after meals for two months. Investigations revealed a diaphragmatic hernia on the right side with a bifid liver; the right lobe of the liver was among the hernia contents. The lady is asymptomatic after surgical repair.
