Sumario:Spontaneous subcapsular hematoma of the liver, with no history of preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, and Low Platelet count.), represents an exceptionally rare clinical condition in pregnancy and postpartum. The complications can be devastating in terms of fetal and maternal mortality. We hereby present a case of a 33-year-old female that underwent an emergency Cesarean section (C-section) at term with the extraction of a live foetus. Few hours after delivery, she complained of intense epigastric and abdominal pain. The diagnostic work-up suggested a SSHH. The condition was managed conservatively in a multidisciplinary team.
