Neonatal jaundice and splenic hematoma.
In the newborn period, unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (UHB) is common, multifactoral, and associated with a variety of physiologic and pathologic conditions. The most commonly identified pathologic cause leading to hyperbilirubinemia is hemolytic disease of the newborn. We report a five-days-old female infant with neonatal jaundice secondary to splenic hematoma.
