Abstrakt: Hepatic herniation is a rare clinical condition. Most commonly it is associated with congenital diaphragmatic herniation or acquired through blunt diaphragmatic trauma. We present a case of a right hepatic lobe incisional hernia in a 75-year-old female who underwent partial right-sided nephrectomy 52 years previously. Evidence of partial Budd-Chiari syndrome was seen on CT scan that was presumed to be as a result of traction of the herniated liver. As far as we are aware this is the first case of a right-sided hepatic hernia with evidence of partial Budd-Chiari syndrome. The patient was treated conservatively with anticoagulation and analgesia.
