Liver lobe torsion

The rabbit liver is composed of five lobes -- the right hepatic lobe, caudate and quadrate lobes are single, and the left hepatic one is separated in lateral and medial parts. Liver lobe torsion or hepatic lobe torsion occurs when a lobe of the liver twists about an axis perpendicular to the organ's base of support. In most cases it is the pendulous caudal process of the caudal lobe, which sits over the right kidney, that twists.
