A young nulliparous woman previously diagnosed with pregnancy-induced hypertension suffered a seizure during active first stage labour. Pre-seizure blood pressure was borderline high but she did not fulfill other criteria for pre-eclampsia. She underwent emergency caesarean section for presumed eclampsia. Postoperatively, she deteriorated neurologically. CT scan showed an intracranial haemorrhage requiring neurosurgical intervention. The similarities of presentation of a primary cerebrovascular event and eclampsia following an intra-partum seizure made the differential diagnosis difficult.
