ABSTRACT

The splenic rupture is a rare complication of pregnancy and of the postpartum period. On the contrary, hepatic hemorrhage is a relatively common complication of pregnancy and it is usually associated with preeclampsia. In this work we report the case of a 37 year-old patient with a noncontrolled 35 week-pregnancy of simple, with severe preeclampsia. She presented abdominal pain, headache, hypertension and accented cutaneous-mucous paleness at the moment of admission to the hospital. During physical evaluation at admittance, the patient suddenly suffered a severe circulatory collapse and it was decided a surgical intervention. A segmental caesarean section was practiced, and during the abdominal exploration it was observed hemoperitoneous, a splenic rupture degree III and a hematoma in the anterolateral liver's wall. Total splenectomy and evacuation of the hepatic hematoma was performed. The splenic rupture and the hepatic subcapsular hematoma should be considered as a part of the differential diagnoses when a hemodynamic collapse occurs during labor in patients with severe preeclampsia. This work constitutes the first report in the Venezuelan literature of the association of splenic rupture, hepatic subcapsular hematoma and severe preeclampsia. An appropriate prenatal control, the knowledge of this association and an immediate therapeutic intervention are essential to assure the maternal-fetal survival.

ABSTRACT

La ruptura esplénica es una rara complicación del embarazo y del postparto, por el contrario, la hemorragia hepática es más común como complicación del embarazo y está usualmente asociada con la preeclampasia. En este trabajo reportamos el caso de una paciente de 37 años de edad con un embarazo simple de 31,5 semanas, no controlado, con preeclampsia severa. Al momento de su ingreso a la institución hospitalaria presentaba dolor abdominal, cefalea, hipertensión y palidez cutáneo-mucosa acentuada. Durante su valoración física de ingreso, la paciente presentó colapso circulatorio severo y se decidió su intervención quirúrgica. Se les práctico una cesaréa segmentaria y durante la exploración abdominal se observó hemoperitoneo, ruptura esplénica grado III y un hematoma en cara anterolateral de hígado. Se realizó esplenectomía y evacuación del hematoma hepático. Deben considerarse la ruptura esplénica y el hematoma subcapsular hepático como diagnósticos diferenciales ante una inestabilidad hemodinámica pre, intra o postparto, bien sea natural o quirúrgico, en pacientes con preeclampsia severa. Este trabajo constituye el primer reporte en la literatura venezolana de la asociación entre ruptura esplénica, hematoma subcapsular hepático y preeclampsia severa. Un adecuado control prenatal, el conocimiento de esta asociación y una rápida intervención terapéutica son esenciales para asegurar la sobrevida materno-fetal
