ABSTRACT
The coincidence of HELLP syndrome and cortical blindness is an uncommon but very dramatic event, for the patient as well as the obstetrician. This report describes the first case of HELLP-syndrome-associated cortical blindness occuring suddenly in the third stage of labour. There were only modest correlates of cortical blindness in cerebral CT, MRI and angiography findings, but no signs of a posterior leucoencephalopathy syndrome. Mother and baby were discharged from hospital to outpatient care in good health on the 12th day.
