Acute abdomen following an uneventful vaginal delivery is a rare occurrence. Diagnosis may be delayed due to pregnancy related comorbid conditions such as preeclampsia, hemolysis elevated, liver enzymes, low platelet (HELLP) count syndrome, acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP), etc. We describe a 21-year-old woman with pre-eclampsia, HELLP syndrome and AFLP with acute abdomen that was managed successfully in our intensive care unit
