Primary dissecting hepatic artery aneurysm in pregnancy
1Department of Pathology, King's College School of Medicine and Dentistry, Denmark Hill, SE5, London, UK .
A 32-year-old 32 weeks pregnant primigravida presented with acute abdomen and died 13 h later. She was normotensive during her antenatal period and on admission. At postmortem, a primary dissecting aneurysm of the main hepatic artery extending into its intrahepatic right branch was found. The cause of the dissection was presumably pregnancy-related.
