HELLP syndrome is associated with a high rate of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, and often leads to immediate fetal extraction. However, this condition may occur very early in pregnancy and conservative approaches have been recently proposed. The limits of this approach are discussed with two cases of conservative management of HELLP syndrome complicated by abruptio placentae.
