To assess the changes of the caudate lobe in the sonographic diagnosis of liver cirrhosis, 96 patients were studied at the Hospital Vargas de Caracas. 27 with histologically proved cirrhosis. 43 with other disease (30 no related with liver and 13 with hepatic disease without cirrhosis, and 26 patients without clinical evidence of liver disease. The longitudinal (CL), transverse (CT), and anteroposterior (CAP) diameters of the caudate lobe and the transverse diameter of the right lobe (RL) were measured and one, two and three dimensional caudate lobe, indexes and ratios were calculated. The analysis of these criteria revealed that the ratio of the three dimensional caudate index (C13) to the right lobe diameter (C13)/RL = iCL x CT x CAP/RL was superior to all other calculated criteria.

Impact of Caudate Lobe Resection on Overall Survival and Liver Disease-Free Survival in Colorectal Liver Metastases: A Pilot Study.

Department of Radiology, Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University, Türkiye.
Background/Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the resected caudate lobe on survival, particularly in the context of anatomical resection of liver metastases in colorectal cancers without metastases in the caudate lobe. Materials and Methods: Patient data were extracted from the dataset titled "Preoperative CT and Survival Data for Patients Undergoing Resection of Colorectal Liver Metastases (CRLM)." The analysis specifically concentrated on individuals who underwent complete cau- date lobe resection in the absence of radiological signs of metastasis within the caudate lobe itself.

: Resection of the caudate lobe of the liver is considered a highly challenging surgical procedure due to the deep anatomic location of this segment and the relationships with major vessels. There is no clear evidence about the safety and effectiveness of robotic resection of the caudate lobe. The aim of this systematic review was to report data about the safety, technical feasibility, and postoperative outcomes of robotic caudate lobectomy.

Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the structural and functional connectivity of the subregions of the amygdala in children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) only or comorbid with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD).
Methods: A total of 354 children with ADHD-only, 161 children with ADHD and ODD (ADHD + ODD), and 100 healthy controls were enrolled. The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) were filled out by caregivers.

"Hot quadrate lobe sign" refers to visualization of caudate lobe of liver due to excess accumulation of radiotracer secondary to superior vena cava obstruction. Collateral channels are formed between thoracic and mediastinal vessels; internal mammary through the paraumbilical vessels which drain blood to the left portal vein and into the caudate lobe of liver. It was first described on Tc99-m sulfur colloid scan.
