Abstrakt: In the last trimester of an uncomplicated pregnancy a woman developed a spontaneous vitreous haemorrhage. She was later diagnosed as having HELLP syndrome, a recently described disorder comprising haemolytic anaemia, elevated liver enzymes, and a low platelet count in women with severe pre-eclampsia or eclampsia. We believe this rare complication of pregnancy to be the cause of the intraocular bleeding. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
