    Author: Heller MT, Tublin ME, Hosseinzadeh K, Fargiano A.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2011 Sep; 197(3):W528-36. PubMed ID: 21862784.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: A variety of uncommon, but potentially devastating, hepatobiliary disorders may complicate pregnancy. Because of their rarity, such disorders may elude diagnosis and treatment may be delayed. Although some of these disorders can be diagnosed clinically, imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of several pregnancy-related hepatobiliary disorders. CONCLUSION: The radiologist should be familiar with the imaging findings of hepatobiliary diseases that complicate pregnancy and can result in significant maternofetal morbidity and mortality.
