Abstract EN
Hepatic infarction is rare, probably due to the dual blood supply by portal vein and hepatic artery.
The causes of hepatic artery occlusion include : atherosclerotic, embolus, arteritis, aneurysm, neoplasia, sepsis, shock, general anesthesia and transcatheter embolization for treatment of malignant hepatic tumors.
Abdominal trauma rarely leads to hepatic infarction, causing significant morbidity and may require emergency intervention.
We are reporting a case of left hepatic lobe infarction developed after blunt abdominal trauma in a ten year-old girl.
It was managed successfully by conservative treatment.
The sequela of hepatic infarction, in this case, was evaluated by ultrasound.
