Abstract
The first case of the H.E.L.L.P. syndrome with ophthalmic signs is described. This syndrome of pregnancy is characterized by Haemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Platelets in association with upper abdominal pain. Diagnosis and treatment is often delayed, while a non-obstetric cause for these findings is sought. The present report adds serous retinal detachments in association with sub-retinal opacities to the signs which should raise suspicion of this syndrome.
