Subcapsular liver hematoma causing cardiac tamponade in HELLP syndrome.
Int J Obstet Anesth. 2012 Jul; 21(3):276-9.IJ

Abstract

HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets) syndrome is an obstetric complication with heterogeneous presentation, multisystem involvement and variable prognosis, but which usually resolves after delivery. We report a case of HELLP syndrome with subcapsular hematoma of the liver causing extrapericardial cardiac tamponade. The subcapsular hematoma and cardiac tamponade were managed conservatively.
