title: [Severe hepatic trauma. Initial non-operative treatment. A case report].
abstract: The emergency surgical treatment of severe hepatic traumas still carries a high mortality risk. We report a case of severe blunt trauma of the liver managed without surgery under CT guidance. This attitude--which does not exclude surgery as a later resort--requires haemodynamic stability of the patient, close monitoring in a surgical intensive care unit and repeated CT scans.
