Two cases of HELLP syndrome with fatal outcomes.

Severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome are still the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. We present two cases of pregnancies which were complicated by HELLP syndrome at 31 weeks of gestation and 25 weeks of gestation, the first one with maternal and the second with perinatal fatal outcomes. The aim of this report is to draw attention to the life-threatening complications that might occur in cases of preeclampisa and HELLP syndrome. The importance of early diagnosis with implications for management is also discussed.
