HELLP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, Low Platelets) is a rare complication that can appear during and/or after pregnancy in patients with preeclampsia or eclampsia. As the syndrome can have serious complications, early diagnosis is important for management. We describe a patient with HELLP syndrome who developed one of its unusual but severe complications: ruptured liver capsule.
