Diagnosis and surgical management of spontaneous hepatic rupture associated with HELLP syndrome.
J Surg Educ. 2009 May-Jun; 66(3):163-7.JS

Abstract

Spontaneous hepatic rupture with hemoperitoneum is an uncommon but devastating complication of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome. Although the syndrome has been considered a variant of preeclampsia/eclampsia, its pathogenesis is not completely understood. Hepatic rupture increases the perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. This report describes 3 cases of extensive spontaneous hepatic rupture in pregnant women with HELLP syndrome. Early diagnosis and adequate tertiary management of this rare but life-threatening condition reduce the high maternal and newborn mortality.
