Abstract
An extensive liver rupture developed in a 50-year-old woman after she received severe blunt injuries in a criminal assault. Nonsurgical mana gement of the liver injury led to recovery of the patient despite a se rious blood loss and multiorgan failure. However, 3 months after the i njury a complete left bile duct stenosis with liver dysfunction and tw o hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms were found. Biliodigestive bypass res tored normal liver function.
