===cranial displacement===
*congenital and acquired (trauma) displacement associated with ventral and diaphragmatic hernias
*results in herniation of the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] into the thoracic cavity
*usually only one lobe enters thorax with other viscera
*blood supply may not be interrupted but may be severely congested and rupture
*may become hardened over time
===caudal displacement===
*more common
*[[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] will be displaced behind the costal arch
*due to organ enlargement or caudal displacement of the diaphragm
NB: the diaphragm may be displaced because of pleural effusion or other space occupying lesion in the thorax
