CT in the posttraumatic liver.
A case is presented which demonstrates the ability of CT to be of use in an unusual presentation of a not uncommon problem, i.e. hepatic hematoma following laceration and repair in a posttraumatic setting. Subsequent compromise of the portal venous system and the inferior vena cava in its retrohepatic course, and resultant abdominal findings are demonstrated and discussed.
