Abstract
10 of all pregnancies are complicated by hypertension. Eclampsia and pre eclampsia constitute about half of these cases. Incidence of eclampsia is 1 in 100 to 1 in 1700 deliveries in developing countries like India. In eclampsia, intracerebral hemorrhage is an infrequent but fatal complication in pregnant women. Eclampsia accounts for 40 of intracerebral hemorrhage. Eclampsia constitutes 5-12 of maternal deaths during pregnancy. In deaths due to eclampsia, intracerebral hemorrhage alone constitutes 10-60 of deaths. Here we present a case of antepartum eclampsia who developed intracerebral hemorrhage. Inspite of the grave complication of increased intracranial tension and death, patient was saved by timely diagnosis and surgery.
