title: [Hemoperitoneum in the newborn infant].
abstract: Among 46272 term and preterm newborns 6 cases (0,13%) of massive intraabdominal hemorrhages could be found. The origin of hemorrhage was in 5 cases the liver. Premature newborns with severe respiratory distress had the main incidence (4 cases). Organic lesions were seen in 2 cases only and other traumatic causes could not be detected. Therefore, the term "abdominal birth injury" should in such cases be replaced by "Neonatal hemoperitoneum".
