[The "HELLP" syndrome: a severe sign in toxemia. Three new cases].

Three women with hypertension, admitted for severe epigastric pain in the third trimester of pregnancy had a complete HS. All 3 women recovered spontaneously 3 days after delivery. All clinical and laboratory findings rapidly disappeared. A premature labour was a neonatal death at 26 weeks. The 2 other infants had delivered by caesarean section because the cardiotocogram showed signs of fetal hypoxemia.
