Abstract

Severe but regressive toxic liver damage was observed in a 30-week pregnant woman due to acetaminophen poisoning. A cesarean section was performed 1 week later for suspected chorioamniotitis and the patient gave birth to an infant who only experienced complications of preterm birth. The lack of fetal liver damage following acute maternal paracetamol poisoning seems to be the rule, as shown by a review of the literature.
