It is a catastrophic condition that can be caused by maternal, placentar or fetal factors. A high index of suspicion is essential for early identification and stabilisation of babies with such a pathology. In a newborn with hypovolemic shock and abdominal distension, haemoperitoneum should be suspected and, along with exclusion of other aetiologies, supportive therapy should be instituted. The hepatic subcapsular haematoma has a non-specific presentation, and should be considered in very low birth weight infants with hypovolemic shock. Abdominal ultrasonography is the investigation of choice. It can delineate the lesion well, differentiate it from neoplasms, rule out rupture and aid in serial follow-up. We report a premature newborn who had this uncommon condition in the early neonatal period and survived without sequelae.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2013-009074","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,4]],"date-time":"2013-06-04T04:53:39Z","timestamp":1370321619000},"page":"bcr2013009074","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Hepatic subcapsular haematoma in a premature newborn"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Cristina","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Aguilar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana Rita","family":"Prior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gra\u00e7a","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025042708090497000_2013.jun03_1.bcr2013009074.1","first-page":"215e20","article-title":"Hepatic subcapsular hematomas in fetuses and neonatal infants","volume":"2013","author":"Singer","year":"1999","journal-title":"Pediatr Dev Pathol"},{"key":"2025042708090497000_2013.jun03_1.bcr2013009074.2","first-page":"1265","article-title":"Subcapsular hematoma of the liver in infants of very low birth weight","volume":"2013","author":"Ryan","year":"1987","journal-title":"CAMJ"},{"key":"2025042708090497000_2013.jun03_1.bcr2013009074.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"67","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adnc.2004.01.003","article-title":"A case report of a low-birth-weight infant with a subcapsular liver hematoma and spontaneous bowel perforation","volume":"2013","author":"Foss","year":"2004","journal-title":"Adv Neonatal Care"},{"key":"2025042708090497000_2013.jun03_1.bcr2013009074.4","first-page":"204e8","article-title":"Subcapsular hemorrhage of the liver in the newborn","volume":"2013","author":"French","year":"1982","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"2025042708090497000_2013.jun03_1.bcr2013009074.5","first-page":"53e7","article-title":"Sonographic diagnosis of subcapsular liver hematoma mimicking a tumor in a neonate","volume":"2013","author":"Mouratidis","year":"2000","journal-title":"J Clin Ultrasound"},{"key":"2025042708090497000_2013.jun03_1.bcr2013009074.6","first-page":"441e3","article-title":"Liver haemorrhage in haemophilia: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"2013","author":"Hamilton","year":"2006","journal-title":"Haemophilia"},{"key":"2025042708090497000_2013.jun03_1.bcr2013009074.7","first-page":"1016e8","article-title":"Ultrasonography in subcapsular hematomas of the liver in the newborn","volume":"2013","author":"Mouzard","year":"1982","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"2025042708090497000_2013.jun03_1.bcr2013009074.8","first-page":"122e5","article-title":"Haemophilia A: two cases showing unusual features at birth","volume":"2013","author":"Le Pommelet","year":"1998","journal-title":"Haemophilia"},{"key":"2025042708090497000_2013.jun03_1.bcr2013009074.9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"89","DOI":"10.3345\/kjp.2008.51.1.89","article-title":"A case of delayed hemorrhage of a subcapsular liver hematoma in a neonate","volume":"2013","author":"Moon","year":"2008","journal-title":"Korean J Pediatr"}],"container-title":["BMJ Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/syndication.highwire.org\/content\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2013-009074","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,27]],"date-time":"2025-04-27T15:09:15Z","timestamp":1745766555000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/casereports.bmj.com\/lookup\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2013-009074"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,3]]},"references-count":9,"alternative-id":["10.1136\/bcr-2013-009074"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/bcr-2013-009074","relation":{},"ISSN":["1757-790X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1757-790X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,3]]}}}
