Corticosteroid-induced arrest of HELLP syndrome progression in a marginally-viable pregnancy.

Corticosteroid therapy in preterm pregnancy complicated by severe pre-eclampsia as HELLP syndrome temporarily stabilizes the HELLP syndrome. One such patient complicated by extreme prematurity was treated with long-term high-dose corticosteroid therapy. The HELLP syndrome was temporarily stabilized and additional in utero fetal maturation was gained.
