Scrotal Hematoma as a Sign of Subcapsular Liver Hematoma in a Preterm Infant

Abstract

Neonatal subcapsular liver hematoma (SLH) occurs in ∼15% of neonates due to several risk factors, including trauma, prematurity, tracheal intubation, and umbilical venous catheterization. 1234 Previously, only one full-term infant has been reported with isolated scrotal wall hematoma as a result of SLH in the medical literature. 1 This is the first case report of an isolated scrotal hematoma in a preterm infant due to SLH.
