Abstract
Despite much interest in HELLP syndrome in the last years, the aetiolo gy of this unique form of severe preeclampsia is still unknown. We rep ort the case of a young multipara with HELLP syndrome and Trisomy 18, who had two uneventful pregnancies before and after the case reported here. This case let us presume, that Trisomy 18, as described for Tris omy 13, may be a risk factor for the development of a preeclampsia.
