Abstract
Cases [19] of radiographically visible fatty liver are presented. The 4 radiographic signs are muscle-fat interface, fat-water interface, a visible hollow viscus wall and blurring of the medial margin of the right properitoneal fat stripe. The last sign is the earliest radiographic change in developing fatty liver. In 1 case, isolated glycogen synthetase deficiency was the cause of fatty liver. This finding was not previously described. The value of the chest radiograph in diagnosing fatty liver is stressed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
