title: [Spontaneous hepatic hematoma during pregnancy].
abstract: Spontaneous hepatic haemorrhage is a rare complication in pregnancy. It usually occurs in multiparous women who have toxaemia of pregnancy. We give a case history of a primigravid patient who was not toxemic. The hepatic haemorrhage presented as blood in the peritoneal cavity which in turn gave rise to abdominal pain with hypovolaemic shock. The surgical treatment consisted in removing the segment of the liver that had been bleeding. The physiopathology of hepatic haemorrhage as described in the literature shows that there was evidence of consumptive coagulopathy with coalescence of periportal areas of liver necrosis. Treatment therefore is that of hepatic trauma. Maternal mortality runs at 70%.
