We report the case of a patient who, at 28-week amenorrhea, presented with spontaneous hemoperitoneum in a pre-eclamptic syndrome. When caesarean section was performed, abdominal exploration revealed a liver hematoma which caused the rupture of Glisson's capsule. The related literature is reviewed.
