Abstract

Blunt abdominal trauma in children accompanied by liver damage occurs in 18-20% of cases. Endovascular embolization is the most common approach for bleeding following central ruptures of liver. Foreign authors published few case reports devoted to successful embolization for central liver ruptures in children. In Russian-language literature, there is one similar report with complicated postoperative period. We present a child with class II blunt liver injury, marginal rupture and central hematoma. The patients underwent suturing of marginal rupture and endovascular embolization without postoperative complications.
