    A ruptured liver subcapsular hematoma during eclampsia is a rare but serious complication. Early diagnosis via ultrasound is crucial for survival in pregnant patients with pre-eclampsia and abdominal pain.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Hepatology
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Eclampsia, a severe complication of pregnancy, can lead to life-threatening conditions.
    • Rupture of a non-traumatic subcapsular liver hematoma is a rare but critical obstetric emergency.
    • Pre-eclampsia symptoms may precede or accompany liver rupture, necessitating vigilant monitoring.

    Observation:

    • A case of a 34-year-old nulliparous woman experiencing liver rupture during eclampsia is presented.
    • The patient survived despite severe complications, highlighting the importance of timely intervention.
    • Clinical presentation can vary, deviating from the classic triad of pre-eclampsia, epigastric pain, and circulatory collapse.

    Findings:

    • Subcapsular liver hematoma rupture in pregnancy is strongly associated with pre-eclampsia.

  • Ultrasonography is identified as a valuable and accessible diagnostic tool for early detection.
  • Understanding the pathogenesis, diagnostic imaging, and surgical management is critical.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis of liver hematoma rupture is paramount for improving maternal and fetal outcomes.
    • Clinicians should consider liver hematoma in pregnant or postpartum women with pre-eclampsia and upper abdominal pain.
    • Prompt ultrasonographic evaluation can facilitate timely surgical intervention and enhance patient survival rates.
