Hepatoma and rupture during pregnancy

Since Abercrombie reported the first pregnancy-related liver rupture in 1844, more than 100 cases have been reported in the literature about liver hematoma and rupture. The disease is dangerous, with a poor prognosis and high mortality. Early skepticism and timely diagnosis by clinical obstetricians provide valuable opportunities for effective management. However, due to the low incidence of hematoma and rupture of the liver, the clinician's relevant knowledge and experience is very limited, which makes it difficult to diagnose in a timely manner. Therefore, strengthening the understanding of liver hematoma during pregnancy is very important to reduce maternal mortality.
