Sumario:KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: We present the case of a rare obstetric emergency, which is usually fatal. Our case highlights suspicion of AFLP in patients presenting with jaundice in the third trimester with good maternal and fetal outcomes after a timely intervention.

We report a case of 28‐year‐old primigravida 39 weeks gestation diagnosed with AFLP complicated by coagulopathy with good maternal and fetal outcomes after a timely intervention.
