Spontaneous hepatic hemorrhage (SHH) is a rare condition that usually occurs secondary to a neoplastic process such as hepatocellular carcinoma. We present the case of a 71-year-old male with no history of trauma or malignancy presenting to our facility with a complaint of abdominal pain. Computed tomography scans showed hemoperitoneum, a suspected aneurysmal dilatation of a branch of the left hepatic artery, and contrast extravasation from the artery. Urgent angiography and embolization of the bleeding vessels were done successfully. Herein, we review the case as well as the relevant literature on spontaneous hepatic hemorrhage and visceral artery aneurysms.

Background: Cystic echinococcosis has a low incidence even in endemic countries. It is a chronic and complex zoonosis that in many cases presents delay in diagnosis; it typically affects the liver in up to 90% of the cases, being disseminated pulmonary disease the most common in young subjects, while the rate of cases located only in the pulmonary parenchyma is low. In Mexico it is considered a disease of low endemicity.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a complex neurological disorder characterized by a wide range of neuropsychiatric abnormalities, from subtle cognitive deficits to deep coma. While cirrhosis is the most common underlying condition, HE can also occur in other conditions. The pathogenesis of HE is multifactorial, but a key factor is the liver's impaired capacity to detoxify substances absorbed from the gut, notably ammonia.

Feline hepatic lipidosis (FHL) is a common liver dysfunction caused by metabolic disorders. The objective was to evaluate the metabolic alteration in the cats of FHL and to identify biomarkers that can serve as biomarker for FHL. Differential metabolites in the serum of spontaneous FHL cats (FS, n = 12) and healthy cats (CS group, n = 12) were analyzed using GC/MS metabolomics.

A previously healthy 18-month-old boy presented with hepatomegaly, accompanied by liver injury. Imaging and liver biopsy findings suggested a hepatic glycogen storage disease (GSD) but not GSD type I. Genetic testing revealed a partial deletion of the PHKA2 gene, confirming the diagnosis of GSD type IXa.
