In recent years, several disease-modifying therapies have been developed for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). Cladribine transiently depletes B and T lymphocytes, with subsequent gradual cell recovery. No cases are reported in literature describing Cladribine drug-induced liver injury (DILI). We describe the case of a 19-year-old woman who developed acute idiosyncratic liver injury 12 days after treatment with Cladribine. Post-marketing adverse event reporting is of paramount importance to allow an early recognition and treatment. Moreover, evaluation of the physiopathological mechanism underlying drug-induced hepatic toxicity can provide clinicians with valuable instruments for prevention and treatment.

Background: Operative mortality for high-grade liver injury (HGLI) remains 42% to 66%, with near-universal mortality after retrohepatic caval injury. The objective of this study was to evaluate mortality and complications of operative and nonoperative management (OM and NOM) of HGLI at our institution, characterized by a trauma surgery-liver surgery collaborative approach to trauma care.

Methods: This was an observational cohort study of adult patients (age ≥16) with HGLI (The American Association for Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grades IV and V) admitted to an urban level I trauma center from January 2010 to November 2021.
