    The traditional criteria for diagnosing preeclampsia include a new onset of hypertension and new-onset proteinuria at 20 weeks gestation. However recent studies suggest preeclampsia and even eclampsia may develop in the absence of either proteinuria or hypertension. This paper reports a dual tragedy of maternal and fetal loss after 36 weeks in the third trimester. Autopsy findings revealed an enlarged liver with multiple patchy hemorrhages, and histopathology confirmed submassive hepatic necrosis. Early diagnosis with timely referrals to higher centers is always helpful for the patients in such cases.
