description The HELLP syndrome is a condition characterized by Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Platelet numbers. It occurs in 0.5-0.9% of all pregnancies and 10-20% of patients with severe preeclampsia. It often occurs as part of severe preeclampsia after 27th week of gestation. We hereby present an unusual case of HELLP syndrome, which was diagnosed at 17 weeks of gestation. If definitive diagnosis of HELLP syndrome is made, prompt termination of pregnancy should be considered, particularly in pregnancies, which are remote from term, to prevent potentially fatal complications both for the mother and the fetus.
