HELLP Syndrome is a pathology of the pregnant woman. It is defined by biological parameters
associating the triad: Acute haemolysis with anemia, thrombocytopenia and hepatocytolysis.
HELLP syndrome is a rare condition (0.6% of pregnancies) [1]... It can be serious because of acute
renal failure and the bleeding disorders it can cause. Maternal mortality is 2-40% and neonatal
mortality is 7-60%[2]. Serious forms require multidisciplinary care. The purpose of this observation
is to report the different current techniques that improve the prognosis of HELLP Syndrome in its
severe form.
