The paper describes the morphopathological changes found at autopsy of a 42-year-old pregnant woman whose death was due to HELLP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, and Low Platelets) that is rarely encountered in autopsy practice and that is a type of preeclampsia. It considers the morphogenesis of these changes in the light of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the syndrome.
