ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Atraumatic spontaneous liver rupture is a very rare occurrence. Most case reports and case series focus on patients during pregnancy, conditions associated with malignancy, hepatomegaly/hepatic pathology, benign masses/lesions, or infectious etiologies. This case report presents a unique circumstance where none of the above-mentioned etiologies were evident at the initial presentation or during the clinical workup. The patient presented with some non-specific symptoms of biliary colic without a conclusive diagnosis before the hepatic rupture. Given the high morbidity and mortality associated with spontaneous liver rupture, we believe this case allows for a closer look at the pre-rupture presentation and eventual sequelae not mentioned elsewhere in the literature.
