Spontaneous rupture of liver during pregnancy.
Ann Chir Gynaecol Suppl. 1994; 208:91-3.AC

Abstract

Spontaneous rupture of the hepatic capsule and subsequent massive intra-abdominal bleeding is a rare but life-threatening complication of pregnancy, which is often associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension. High maternal and fetal mortality rates have been reported. We describe a case with massive intra-abdominal bleeding. The diagnosis and treatment of this condition are discussed.
