HELLP syndrome, a complication of preeclampsia, is characterized by hemolysis, elevation of liver enzymes and thrombocytopenia during pregnancy, being an obstetric complication that can evolve with serious complications for the mother and fetus, with risk of death 1. Among these complications is the formation of a subcapsular hepatic hematoma with the possibility of spontaneous rupture, with a generally fulminant evolution, increasing the risk of maternal mortality by up to 50% 2. The present study aims to provide, through a case report, an understanding of the diagnosis, management and therapy and also the possibilities of conduct. A high level of diagnostic suspicion is essential for a favorable outcome for the mother and fetus, and associated with a rapid multidisciplinary approach by a trained team, there will be a possibility and a better prognosis for the binomial.
