It may cause serious maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. In management, prompt delivery of the patient is very important. This case report discusses a patient in her 35-36th week of pregnancy with elevated liver enzymes, thrombocytopenia, hypertension and a full stomach. An emergency cesarean section was indicated and the procedure was performed with spinal anaesthesia using 10 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine and 0.2 mg morphine sulphate. It was concluded that spinal anesthesia can be performed in patients with thrombocytopenia provided that other coagulation paramaters are normal and there are no signs of bleeding.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCesarean sectionHELLP syndromeSpinal anaesthesiaArticle1416770Q4
