AbstractThe HELLP-syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, Low Platelets), known as a complication during pregnancy, is associated with preeclampsia and may cause subcapsular liver hematomas. In case of hepatic rupture the lives of mother and unborn are threatened. Therefore, an interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approach is discussed and compared to two examples. The diagnosis of subcapsular liver hematoma must lead to urgent delivery through Cesarean section. Thereafter, the surgeon may decide between observation on an intensive care unit and urgent operation in case of hepatic rupture, without endangering the unborn.
