Falciform ligament thrombosis: a rare complication of pancreatitis.
Pak J Radiol Jan ;29(2):134-6.

Falciform ligament is a thin and broad peritoneal ligament which usually contains the obliterated umbilical vein and connects the liver with the anterior abdominal wall. Thrombosis of the falciform ligament is a very rare entity which is likely inflammatory thrombophlebitis secondary to the local inflammatory process like cholecystitis and pancreatitis. We present here one such rare case of a falciform ligament thrombosis in a 50 years old male patient who presented with the complaints of post pancreatitis abdominal pain.
