    AbstractThe HELLP-syndrome (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets) is associated with pre-eclampsia and may cause subcapsular liver haematomas. When hepatic rupture occurs the mortality of mother and unborn is high. Rupture remains a surgical emergency with control of bleeding based on trauma principles. We report a case and discuss the diagnosis and management.
