Neonatal hemochromoatosis (NHC) is characterized by severe liver disease in the newborn accompanied by extrahepatic siderosis. This Gestational Alloimmunic Liver Disease (GALD) is resulting from the placental transfer of maternal IgG antibodies against fetal hepatocytes. Diagnosis is often only made post mortem for the severe and unexpected occurrence [1].
