Manejo conservador de un hematoma subcapsular hepático en un síndrome de HELLP

To improve morbidity and mortality in patients with subcapsular liver hematoma, clinical suspicion, a rapid diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment are fundamental. The treatment of this complication includes expectant management with clinical and radiological observation, embolization of the hepatic arteries, and surgical treatment if there is hemodynamic instability, persistent bleeding or increasing pain. We report a case of postpartum HELLP syndrome that was complicated by a subcapsular liver hematoma, successfully treated by embolization of the right hepatic artery.
