title: [2 cases of the HELLP (Hemolysis Elevated Liver Low Platelet) syndrome].
abstract: Recently described by Weinstein, the "HELLP syndrome" is an entity of the pre-toxemic syndrome; its precise physiopathological mechanism, related to a thrombotic micro-angiopathy, is still not clearly established. Therefore, the treatment remains symptomatic, associated with the treatment of the toxemia. Two cases occurring in twin pregnancies are reported.
