Abstract/OtherAbstract:

We describe a case of acute fatty liver that developed during the third trimester of pregnancy. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is a well-documented medical condition and is important due to its implications on maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. AFLP is managed with supportive care and close surveillance is needed in patients with a previous history of this disease. Long-term sequelae such as brain damage may also occur. This case was unusual because the patient presented due to a co-incident uterine scar rupture and was subsequently diagnosed with AFLP. Although no association between scar rupture and AFLP has been reported in the scientific literature, the association of abdominal scar dehiscence and liver disease has been reported previously. |
