Objective:
To present a case of dual-supply hepatic infarction following blunt abdominal trauma in a postpartum patient and discuss the management approach.
Key Findings:
- This case represents the first documented instance of dual occlusion of both inflow vessels following blunt abdominal trauma in a postpartum patient.
- The patient showed complete resolution of liver function and imaging findings after conservative management.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
- The rarity of dual-vessel hepatic infarction limits generalizability of findings.
- No established guidelines exist for the management of acute segmental liver infarction.
Conclusion:
