Abstract
The HELLP syndrome is the most severe variant of pre-eclampsia. A case is reported in a primigravida patient at 25 weeks of gestation. The lack of response to medical treatment and the deterioration of maternal indices necessitated a Cesarean section with intensive neonatal care at a very premature stage. The physiopathological grounds and the various methods of treating this syndrome are discussed and the paper concludes that rapid birth is the only solution capable of preventing severe maternal complications.
