Successful term delivery after previous pregnancy with ruptured liver.
Liver rupture is an uncommon but serious complication of pregnancy. Preeclampsia is commonly an antecedent factor. Diagnosis is typically made late in the course of events and both mother and infant die. A case of a patient with liver rupture and fetal death is presented. She later had a successful subsequent pregnancy delivered at term. This is the second case reported of a term delivery after previous liver rupture.
