Introduction: The hemolysis-elevated liver enzymes-low platelet counts (HELLP) syndrome and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) are rare conditions that can complicate pregnancy and the early postpartum period. Although both are closely related to hypertensive pregnancy disorders, their association is rarely described, so the outcome of these patients remains unknown. We present a case report of PRES associated with HELLP syndrome and a review of all previously published cases, including demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, treatment, and outcome.

Various mechanisms may lead to diffuse endothelial damage associated with HELLP and possible brain involvement. A comprehensive review of PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases was conducted to examine the clinical, laboratory and radiological features associated with postpartum HELLP syndrome, particularly its potential association with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES).

Subcapsular liver haematoma in pregnancy, a rare and life-threatening condition, is more commonly associated with severe preeclampsia and haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome. The common presenting symptom of subcapsular haematoma is acute-onset upper abdominal pain in patients suffering from preeclampsia; shock is the presenting feature in severe cases of rupture. Here we have discussed a case of subcapsular haematoma associated with HELLP syndrome in a patient who responded to conservative management.
