Abstract

Spontaneous liver bleeding (SLB) is a rare but potentially fatal complication. In contrast to the East, various benign pathologies are the source of SLB in the West. An accurate diagnosis and a timely implementation of appropriate treatment are crucial in the management of these patients. The present study presents a large Western experience of SLB from a specialist liver centre. A retrospective analysis of patients presented with SLB between January 1995 and January 2011. Sixty-seven patients had SLB, 44 (66%) were female and the median age at presentation was 47 years. Abrupt onset upper abdominal pain was the presenting symptom in 65 (97%) patients. The aetiology for SLB was hepatic adenoma in 27 (40%), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in 17 (25%) and various other liver pathologies in the rest. Emergency treatment included a conservative approach in 42 (64%), DSA and embolization in 6 (9%), a laparotomy and packing in 6 (9%) and a liver resection in 11 (16%) patients. Eleven (16%) patients had further planned treatments. Seven (10%) died during the same admission but the mortality was highest in patients with HELLP syndrome. At a median follow-up of 54 months all patients with benign disease are alive. The 1-, 3- and 5-year s...Continue Reading
