my 3 year old has an enlargde liver and we are awaiting a scan this coming tuesday, we are looking online to see what it could possibly be, there are no other symptoms, but was discovered due being investigated for a hernia which she is getting scanned for also doctor thinks its a Spigelian hernia
Hello, Thank you for your question ! Enlarged liver Ina 3 years old is very suggestive of congenital (born with) cyst. It would be pretty uncommon for a liver disease to develop that early in time.liver carcinoma is also rare in kids. Ct scan would diagnose what is the cause for the enlargement. Siberian hernia is a ventral herniation bellow the belly button. Me myself can not see a reason for the liver enlargement to be caused by the herniation. If you were my patient I would suggest you to visit a doctor and undergo some tests to understand the reason for the enlarged. Best regards !
