  • Title: Spontaneous hepatic rupture in pregnancy.
    Author: Yagmurdur MC, Agalar F, Daphan CE.
    Journal: Eur J Emerg Med; 2000 Mar; 7(1):75-6. PubMed ID: 10839385.
    Abstract:
    The HELLP-syndrome (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets) is associated with pre-eclampsia and may cause subcapsular liver haematomas. When hepatic rupture occurs the mortality of mother and unborn is high. Rupture remains a surgical emergency with control of bleeding based on trauma principles. We report a case and discuss the diagnosis and management.
