چکیده
the most serious and potentially life-threatening complication associated with preeclampsia or eclampsia. The patient’s survival generally depends on the early recognition of the characteristic signs and symptoms and prompt surgical intervention. Even with surgical intervention, the maternal mortality had been reported to be as high as 59-86% (1, 2). We describe here a case of successful treatment of spontaneous hepatic rupture due to preeclampsia of pregnancy by performing transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization, and we also review the relevant literature.
