[X-Ray diagnosis of hepatic rupture in a newborn (author's transl)].

Presumably due to trauma during birth newborn infant had a hepatic rupture and intraabdominal haematoma, which was diagnosed by injection of contrast solution into the umbilical vein catheter. Radiographically the haematoma was seen in the left upper abdomen (perhaps in the omental bursa). Besides additional birth injuries the infant suffered from fetopathia diabetica, asphyxia, meconium aspiration syndrome, mediastinal emphysema and pneumoperitoneum.
