Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Hepatology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome are serious pregnancy complications.
  • Liver hematomas, though rare, can occur during pregnancy.
  • Subcapsular liver hematomas present diagnostic and management challenges.

Observation:

  • A 34-week pregnant woman with preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome presented with right upper quadrant pain.
  • Tomodensitometry confirmed an unruptured subcapsular liver hematoma.
  • Cesarean delivery was performed, followed by conservative management of the hematoma.

Findings:

  • Conservative treatment of the unruptured hepatic hematoma was successful.
  • Regular X-ray follow-ups demonstrated regression of the liver lesion.

  • This approach aligns with recent reports advocating for conservative management.
  • Implications:

    • Unruptured subcapsular liver hematomas in pregnancy can be managed conservatively with close surveillance.
    • This case underscores the importance of multidisciplinary care in managing complex obstetric conditions.
    • Further research into optimal conservative management strategies for hepatic hematomas during pregnancy is warranted.
