Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is a disease of the third trimester, generally considered to be rare and to have a grave prognosis. Histologically the characteristic fine droplet steatosis usually produces distinct vacuolization. Successful treatment depends on accurate diagnosis and early delivery. Computed tomography is of value in the diagnosis of fatty liver through liver and spleen attenuation value measurements. We reviewed 4 cases of acute fatty liver of pregnancy. Computed tomography was performed in two cases and was very helpful in the diagnosis of this condition.

D005234 Fatty Liver Lipid infiltration of the hepatic parenchymal cells resulting in a yellow-colored liver. The abnormal lipid accumulation is usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES, either as a single large droplet or multiple small droplets.
