Rehabilitation Outcomes of a Patient with HELLP Syndrome: Case Report
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Intracranial lesions associated with pregnancy are rare, but mortality rates are high. Most of the events are intracranial hemorrhage,
intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, infarction and venous thrombosis. The remainder is encephalopathy associated
with preeclampsia. HELLP syndrome is presented with hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets. Mortality was reported
up to 25 % in HELLP syndrome. In this paper we present desirable rehabilitation outcomes of hemiparesis caused by HELLP
syndrome.
