Abstract

The round ligament of the liver is one of the peritoneal folds running from the umbilical foramen to the anterior part of the left sagittal longitudinal sulcus of the liver. Acute inflammation of the round ligament of the liver is a rather rare disease. The clinical picture of the disease has no specific signs. This article presents a rare case of ultrasound diagnostics of primary isolated inflammation of the round ligament of the liver in a patient admitted to the hospital with a clinical picture of "acute abdomen". Ultrasound signs of inflammation of the round ligament of the liver were determined. Early diagnosis of inflammation of the round ligament of the liver allows preventing the development of complications and, as a result, surgical treatment.
