Abstract

HELLP syndrome is sometimes followed by massive bleeding, leading to DIC. In cases of intra-abdominal compartment syndrome due to massive intra-abdominal bleeding after cesarean section, if preeclampsia and partial HELLP syndrome persist, hematoma removal helps in the recovery from preeclampsia and partial HELLP syndrome.

Keywords: HELLP syndrome; abdominal compartment syndrome; preeclampsia.
