Abstract:
  Penetrating abdominal injury during pregnancy is extremely rare. The case of an 18-year-old primigravid woman at 29 weeks? gestation is presented who sustained a low-velocity handgun penetrating liver injury. Due to her hemodynamic stability, absence of fetal distress and also absence of radiographic and clinical signs of hollow viscus injury, the patient was conservatively treated and discharged in perfect condition on the 10th day following admission.
