Künt batın travmasına bağlı rastlantısal dev karaciğer hemanjiom rüptürü

Abstract

A patient with blunt abdominal trauma due to a traffic accident was admitted to our clinic and operated urgently because of hemodynamic shock. Operative exploration revealed rupture of a congenital giant cavernous liver hemangioma, then a partial hepatic resection was performed. Liver abscess and pleural effusion occurred in the postoperative period and the abscess was drained by a CT-guided catheter. However, the catheter drainage get infected. As a conclusion, if a liver hemangioma is detected incidentally on routine check-up studies, these people, carrying potential risk of rupture should be warned about high risk jobs.
