Imaging findings are shown for a subcapsular hematoma in a one-day old infant. An abdominal sonogram shows a cystic mass containing an internal thin septum with compression of the liver parenchyma in the right lobe of liver (arrow).

A contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scan shows a well-defined, oval shape, non-enhancing, slightly low-density cystic mass in the subcapsular area of the lateral portion of the liver and hepatorenal space.

A CT image showed an approximate 3.1 x 1.0 cm size well defined, oval shape cystic mass in the lateral subcapsular area of the liver and the lesion compressed the adjacent liver parenchyma (Figure 3).
A multi-planar reformatted coronal CT scan shows a partial linear low-density lesion in the dome of the liver presumed to be parenchymal laceration (arrow). An non-enhancing cystic mass is seen in the lateral margin of the liver with hepatic compression.

The CT finding was suspicious for a subcapsular hematoma because of the liver parenchymal laceration (Figure 4).
A follow-up sonogram obtained after seven days reveals a markedly improved cystic lesion in the lateral portion of the liver.

A follow up ultrasonography examination was performed at seven days of age, and the previous noted cystic lesions adjacent to the liver and Morison's pouch had improved (Figure 5).
