Résumé
Postoperative vaso-occlusive disease may be a life-threatening condition in patients affected by sickle cell disease, necessitating sometimes liver transplantation. After laparoscopic cholecystectomy, liver necrosis is usually secondary to intraoperative vascular injury. In this patient, the vaso-occlusive crisis mimicked a vascular injury with segmental postoperative necrosis.
