Abstract: 3 to 5% of pregnancies are complicated by preeclampsia, which remains a leading cause of fetal-maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. The rate is higher in Morocco where the lack of prenatal consultations explains why pre-eclampsia are diagnosed at advanced stages. Severe early pre-eclampsia (before 32 weeks of pregnancy) is associated with a risk of maternal mortality 20 times higher than after 37 weeks, and a higher risk of perinatal complications. Its pathophysiology is complex and multifactorial. Preeclampsia may appear without any of the usual clinical symptoms or appear before the second half of pregnancy. Its symptoms are variable and reflect multisystem dysfunction [3]. Its development is unpredictable and can be overwhelming. Our aim is to report a case of atypical preeclampsia (before week 20 of gestation) associated with a HELLP syndrome and analyze the clinical features of atypical forms, asses differential diagnosis and highlight the progress in biochemical and biophysical markers that may help with diagnosis.
