ABSTRACT

Introduction: Hellp syndrome is a serious complication of pre-eclampsia that determines the increase in maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. Initially described in 1954 by Pritchard who mentioned haemolysis, thrombocytopenia and other alterations in patients with severe toxemia; but it is Weinstein who in 1982, recognizes a rare and serious variant of preeclampsia, and to name it took the initials of the facts that he considered fundamental, of said syndrome: (H) hemolysis; (EL) elevation of liver enzymes and (LP) plaquetopenia.
Case presentation: A case of Hellp syndrome was diagnosed in a patient aged 31 years and 24 weeks of twin gestation. An emergency pregnancy interruption for maternal well-being was performed and it has progressed favorably until now without complications. We conducted an updated bibliographic review as well as its epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of this entity.
Discussion: the case reported is that of a patient with Hellp syndrome, considering a serious pathology with a high risk of maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality, after this description, the main objective is the realization of a timely diagnosis and timely recourse to the Interruption of pregnancy.
Conclusions: the clinical suspicion was low at the beginning of the picture, whose condition could worsen the maternal result even more if an adequate diagnosis had not been made. According to our national protocol transpelvic birth and timely treatment is recommended, as well as homogenizes the management of these patients in order to avoid complications.
