Abstract
We report a case of acute fatty liver of pregnancy characterized by its early occurrence in the 26th wk of a twin pregnancy. Usually, this illness begins only late in the third trimester, although onset of disease as early as 26 wk has already been reported. The death of both fetuses also illustrates the high mortality rate and the necessity for prompt diagnosis and treatment.
