Esophageal impression
Impressio esophagea [oesophagea]
Definition
The esophageal impression is a concavity or depression on the dorsal border of liver, caused by the adjacent esophagus near the cardia of the stomach, often adjacent to the gastric impression of liver.
It varies in prominence and exact location depending on the species, reflecting differences in the course of the esophagus and the morphology of the liver.
