ORESTES RAMIREZ CABRERA, Juan et al. Hepatic rupture in HELLP syndrome: electrofulguration and use of mesh. A case report. Rev. peru. ginecol. obstet. [online]. 2019, vol.65, n.4, pp.537-540. ISSN 2304-5132.  http://dx.doi.org/10.31403/rpgo.v65i2222.

Hepatic subcapsular hematoma is a rare and lethal complication of HELLP syndrome presenting during pregnancy or the postpartum in women with severe preeclampsia or eclampsia. Maternal and perinatal mortality is high, hence the importance of prevention, early recognition, and timely and multidisciplinary treatment. We present a case of spontaneous rupture of subcapsular hepatic hematoma in which treatment consisted in electrofulguration and placement of hemostatic mesh, and a review of the literature.

Keywords : Hepatic subcapsular hematoma; HELLP syndrome.
