Ruptured subcapsular liver hematoma during pregnancy: a lifesaving multidisciplinary approach

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:We report a lifesaving multidisciplinary approach to a ruptured subcapsular liver hematoma during the third trimester of pregnancy associated to a HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets) syndrome. Surgical treatment was performed and both mother and newborn survived. High diagnostic suspicion was crucial to the emergent case management. These patients should be treated in a setting in which adequate supportive care and multidisciplinary teams are available.
