We discuss the case of a 30-year-old primipara woman who developed a liver rupture as a complication of the HELLP syndrome. A liver necrosis and bleeding made a hepatectomy necessary. A portocaval shunt was able to maintain the patient until she underwent urgent liver transplantation. In an excellent state of recovery, the woman and her baby were discharged from the hospital 66 days after having been admitted.
