Case description

Surgical video case: usually liver does not possess any grooves on its diaphragmatic surface, but there are reports on the presence of grooves on this surface. Normally, there is no other structure between the liver and diaphragm that can cause grooves on the diaphragmatic surface. There is no developmental explanation for the formation of the grooves on the diaphragmatic surface as well. However, some studies in the past have reported the presence of grooves on the diaphragmatic surface. These grooves are named as “cough furrows” appearing due to chronic cough or due to a condition called “corset liver” occurring due to application of a tight corset to correct scoliosis or to get an attractive figure.
