Abstract
A case is reported of sudden rupture of a subcapsular hematoma of the liver (SHL) due to birth injury occurring after complete repair of a t otal anomalous pulmonary venous connection in a 3-day-old male infant. Autopsy showed a wide bruised surface of liver parenchyma. Although m aking a diagnosis of SHL may be difficult before neonatal cardiac surg ery, special care on this quite rare complication must be taken in neo nates with difficult delivery.
