Liver rupture in HELLP syndrome

Abstract: We report on a 30-year-old Caucasian woman admitted to our clinic after 34 weeks of gestation because of a severe partial hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets (HELLP) syndrome. A cesarean section was performed when her clinical symptoms and laboratory values worsened. Intraoperatively she was diagnosed with hepatic subcapsular hematoma and liver rupture. Surgical treatment, including perihepatic packing with sterile towels removed 2 days post-surgery, resulted in an uneventful recovery. The patient was discharged 26 days after admission. Case reports such as ours may contribute to the management of pregnancies complicated by hepatic hematoma and rupture of the liver capsule associated to HELLP syndrome.
