[HELLP syndrome on the 6th puerperal day. Presentation of case reports]

We show by two case reports, that the HELLP-syndrome is the most severe form of pre-eclampsia and associated with a relative high maternal and perinatal mortality because of the sudden onset of the complications. In the first case report we describe the development of this syndrome after two eclamptical convulsions on the 6th day of puerperal period. A similar case has not been published yet in all literature. In the second report a mother died by rupture of the capsule of liver because of the HELLP-syndrome 72 hours after Section caesarea. We want to show, that caesarean section cannot avoid this complication. It is not in all cases the most advantageous procedure of delivery in patients with HELLP-syndrome.
