Abstract
- The diagnosis of HELLP syndrome associated with preeclampsia-eclampsia during pregnancy uses three test results, including hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme, low platelets and their related clinical symptoms. Liver rupture is a life-threatening and rare complication related to HELLP syndrome. Early diagnosis and rapid treatment are very important for protecting the life of the patient and the fetus. We are reporting an anesthetic experience a sudden-onset suspicious HELLP syndrome with an intraperitoneal hemorrhage caused by a rapidly progressed liver rupture in a severe preeclampsia patient without any abnormalities during gestation.
