The recurrence risk of HELLP-syndrome is reported to be between 2.6% and 24%. But yet, there are no accurate case reports about this topic available. In a retrospective study, 25 patients, which had suffered from a pre partum HELLP-syndrome, were interviewed about possible subsequent pregnancies. ⋯ Whilst all of the patients with HELLP-syndrome had been delivered by cesarean section, 50% of the patients were delivered vaginally in the subsequent pregnancy. There was no evidence of maternal or neonatal complications related to HELLP-syndrome. Nevertheless, even if the recurrence risk seems to be low, pregnancies after HELLP syndrome should be observed carefully.
