“…Initially, symptoms may be nonspecific and include progressive anemia, lethargy, poor feeding, jaundice, and a right-upper-quadrant mass. 28,29 If the hematoma ruptures, abdominal distention, anemia, hypovolemia, and hemorrhagic shock develop rapidly. Radiographic findings of hepatomegaly may suggest hepatic trauma; however, the definitive diagnosis must be made by abdominal ultrasound or CT. 16 Two different etiologies for hepatic injury have been suggested.…”

Part 1 of this 2-part article, "Early Recognition and Treatment of Birth Trauma: Injuries to the Head and Face" provided readers with basic concepts related to birth trauma to the head and face. Part 2 focuses on the pathophysiology, etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of birth injuries to the intraabdominal organs, the peripheral nerves, the spinal cord, and the skeletal system. Risk factors for birth injury to these areas are discussed along with key issues related to the nursing care of affected infants.

The subcapsular hematoma (SLH) of the liver is a rare finding in living infants. The clinical presentation of rupture is non-specific, with the signs of hypovolemic shock dominating. The causes are several, with prematurity, trauma and sepsis playing a leading role in the creation of an SHL. Umbilical vein catheterization and an increased bleeding tendency have also been associated with this usually fatal diagnosis. Abdominal ultrasonography, among other imaging methods, comprises the gold standard examination for early diagnosis. It should be differentiated from other possible causes of shock, such as sepsis and intraventricular hemorrhage, which have similar clinical presentation. We report a case series of three very low birth weight preterms (VLBW), with an SHL, during the first days of life, one of which survived from this usually catastrophic condition. A comprehensive review of the literature regarding this clinical entity was also conducted. A high index of suspicion is essential for early identification of such a case, with conservative or surgical treatment being the way to go.

Subcapsular hemorrhage of the liver in a very-low-birth-weight neonate: survival after decompression laparotomy

Abstract: Subcapsular hemorrhage of the liver in a very-low-birth-weight neonate was successfully treated by decompression laparotomy. This may be the second smallest survivor after surgery in the literature.
