The occurrence of spontaneous bladder rupture during labor or the postpartum period after an uncomplicated vaginal delivery is exceedingly uncommon. However, we encountered a case involving spontaneous bladder rupture, which resulted in the development of localized fluid collections in the abdomen after an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. In this instance, the absence of typical peritonitis symptoms, such as abdominal pain or tenderness, and the lack of typical urological symptoms, including haematuria, dysuria, and anuria, coupled with the absence of clinical manifestations of puerperal sepsis, the absence of microbial presence in the ascitic fluid, and the patient's symptomatic amelioration following antibiotic therapy, contributed to a delay in identifying the bladder rupture.

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.
