Hemorrhagic manifestations during COVID-19 infections are increasingly described in the literature. We report the first case of spontaneous subcapsular hematoma of the liver revealing a COVID-19 infection in a 44-year-old woman with no underlying health condition history, a computerized tomography evaluation showed an aspect of lung ground-glass opacities, with moderate impairment estimated at about 20%. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction confirmed the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, non-traumatic bleeding such as spontaneous hematomas in patients with no coagulation disorder could be a manifestation of COVID-19 infection.
Hemorrhagic manifestations during COVID-19 infections are increasingly described in the literature. We report the first case of spontaneous sub-capsular hematoma of the liver revealing a COVID-19 infection in a 44-year-old woman with no underlying health condition history, a CT-scan evaluation showed an aspect of lung ground-glass opacities, with moderate impairment estimated about 20%. RT-PCR confirmed the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. During the epidemic period, it seems necessary to suspect COVID-19 infections in case of spontaneous sub-capsular hematoma of the liver in patients with no trauma story nor coagulation disorder.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
