Background: A large number of pat buloge satitica curs affect the sizes of the ver, and fimical cosmination is far fа мехри cletect small increases wie A previne study had observed that the liver size awer in Zimbabweans cumpared to Germana due to стесні Іспpiral diseases Thes stuttly was carried out in adults to find out the smaller se would alse he Jocuriented among a Nigerian population. Methodology: The eite of the liver was mperated using ultrasoune scanning minkine fitted with 3.5MHe transducer in aduite aged between 18 arul fish yvire This prospeutive study was conducted in 106 Temales and U2 males with normal inver sonogrαρδώς πυδdinge The gittal und transverse diameters were measured and tichuted to ape, sex weight and height of the Results: The averall mean and standard deviatino (80) of the liver size in sartal and ples were 0.35 cm Ling saf 13.73 cm + 0.19) zespectively. The sagitial liver span m the mod-clantcular lime was smaller sonng Nigerians when compared with the previous studies song Caucastana and Turkish indigeue A significent statistical difference ins0 05 wan abserved in the uunsenise liver span be wont male and female subjects, howmer, no significant stistical difference was abserved in the sagittal dimension. The nen, body weighit and height showed a weak positive correlation with the sound transverse inver dimerisices. Among motors, age showed the strongect correlation with the sagittal liver dirunssian and wolcht with the transverse liver dimen Conclusion: The sagitral liver span in the mid-clavicular line from this study was amalier than valuse documented from the previous stucies on Caucasians and Turkish andigenes Subject age showed the strongest positive nervulacion with the sagittal liver sizes and weight with the transverse liver size
