caudate lobe

The quadrate and caudate lobe lie superior and inferior to this line respectively.

The caudate lobe is a separate structure which receives blood flow from both the right- and left-sided vascular branches.

Caudate lobe hypertrophy is often present.

These are the caudate lobe (the more superior) and the quadrate lobe (the more inferior).

These separate the right lobe in two smaller lobes on its left posterior part: the quadrate lobe and the caudate lobe.

It joins nearly at right angles with the left sagittal fossa, and separates the quadrate lobe in front from the caudate lobe and process behind.

The lower group arise from the right lobe and caudate lobe, are variable in number, and are typically smaller than those in the upper group.

Other findings suggestive of cirrhosis in imaging are an enlarged caudate lobe, widening of the liver fissures and enlargement of the spleen.

It should not be confused with the anatomic lobes of the liver (caudate lobe, quadrate lobe, left lobe, and right lobe), or any of the functional lobe classification systems.

The caudate process is a small elevation of the hepatic substance extending obliquely and laterally, from the lower extremity of the caudate lobe to the under surface of the right lobe.

The caudate lobe (posterior hepatic segment I, Spigelian lobe) is situated upon the postero-superior surface of the liver on the right lobe of the liver, opposite the tenth and eleventh thoracic vertebrae.

Budd-Chiari syndrome, caused by occlusion of hepatic venous outflow, can lead to hypertrophy of the caudate lobe due to its own caval anastomosis that allows for continued function of this lobe of the liver.

Close to the right of the fossa between the uncovered area and the caudate lobe and immediately above the renal impression is a small triangular depressed area, the suprarenal impression, the greater part of which is devoid of peritoneum; it lodges the right suprarenal gland.
