description HELLP syndrome is an acronym used, since 1982, to describe a combined disorder of the liver and coagulation cascade defined as pre-eclampsia in pregnant women with hemolytic anemia, an increase in liver enzymes, and a decrease in platelet count. Spontaneous liver rupture is an exceptionally rare and extremely severe, occasionally lethal, complication of pre-eclampsia - eclampsia and especially hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets (HELLP) syndrome. The following report describes a case of a 48-year-old woman diagnosed with HELLP syndrome complicated by spontaneous liver rupture who was treated conservatively.
