Abstract

Eclampsia and severe pre-eclampsia are usually rare, but potentially life threatening medical disorders that the emergency physicians should diagnose and treat promptly. In this case report, we discuss a young female with generalized tonic clonic seizure in the postpartum period, the diagnosis and management in the emergency department of our hospital along with review of literature.
