title: [A rare cause of hemoperitoneum. Spontaneous rupture of a hepatic artery, the site of septic thrombosis].
abstract: An exceptional case of spontaneous haemoperitoneum due to rupture of a thrombotic hepatic artery is reported. The thrombosis was of infectious origin and due to an untreated 3-week old dental abscess. The different causes of such thromboses, the different steps in the diagnostic approach, the consequences of hepatic artery obstruction and the different therapeutic possibilities are discussed.
