[Pericardial effusion and pleural serositis in patients with severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome].
The syndrome pre-eclampsia/eclampsia is a frequent entity in the obstetrical pathology and acquires interest to take to the patients to a critical state. It has repercussion in all the organism by his complications. The definitive treatment of pre-eclampsia/eclampsia is the interruption of the pregnancy. The pericardial effussion as severe complication of pre-eclampsia and Sx de HELLP is a little frequent entity. Few cases reported in Literature exists. In the Hospital Angeles Pedregal, two cases of patients embarrassed without antecedents of previous picture hypertensive, complicated are reported with severe pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome class II of Martin which developed pericardial effussion without presence of tamponade. The knowledge of the behavior of this cardiovascular complication as well as the multidisciplinary and integral handling, are without a doubt the best form to modify the evolution and to avoid the appearance of tamponade. The acute pericardial effussion can get to mean a medical urgency that puts in danger the life. Mainly when the intrapericardic pressure so is lifted that the heart is compressed and the diastolic pressures ventricular lefts and right are increased and in the absence of preexisting cardiac pathology, these pressures get to equal itself. This complication little frequents must be had in mind like more of the haemodynamic complications.
