Spontaneous Hepatic Rupture Complicating Preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome: A Case Report.
Case Rep Med
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Jimma Medical Center, Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia.
Spontaneous hepatic rupture is a rare complication that occurs in pregnant mothers with HELLP syndrome, or preeclampsia with severe features, or eclampsia. The most common symptom of hepatic rupture/hematoma is right upper quadrant pain or epigastric pain, which is similar to the presentation of preeclampsia with severe features. Therefore, the absence of specific signs and symptoms leads to a diagnostic dilemma and a delay in management.

Subcapsular liver haematoma in pregnancy, a rare and life-threatening condition, is more commonly associated with severe preeclampsia and haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome. The common presenting symptom of subcapsular haematoma is acute-onset upper abdominal pain in patients suffering from preeclampsia; shock is the presenting feature in severe cases of rupture. Here we have discussed a case of subcapsular haematoma associated with HELLP syndrome in a patient who responded to conservative management.

Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) primarily affects overweight or obese women of reproductive age, making it crucial to investigate its relationship with pregnancy.
- A study examined the incidence of IIH development during pregnancy and its association with hypertensive disorders, finding that 7% of IIH patients experienced new onset IIH during their pregnancies.
- IIH patients had significantly higher risks for various hypertensive disorders like eclampsia, preeclampsia, and HELLP syndrome, as well as complications like ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages, even when controlling for obesity and migraine factors.
Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), a rare hepatic vein obstruction condition, poses significant risks during gestation and the postpartum period. We present the case of a 30-year-old primigravida at 32 weeks gestation admitted with weakness and lethargy, which was diagnosed with impending uterine rupture, HELLP syndrome, and intrauterine fetal demise. An emergency cesarean section was performed, delivering a stillborn baby and uncovering 700 milliliters of blood clots in her abdominal cavity.
