Late-onset eclampsia can occur up to two weeks postpartum. This case suggests vascular spasm as a potential cause for delayed eclamptic seizures.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Eclampsia typically occurs within 48 hours postpartum.
  • The possibility of late-onset eclampsia remains formally unestablished.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with seizures and transient hypertension 14 days postpartum.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed sub-cortical abnormalities with T2 hyper signal.
  • Cerebral blood flow and transcranial Doppler studies indicated reduced perfusion and flow velocity, suggestive of vascular spasm.

Findings:

  • The case supports the occurrence of eclamptic crises two weeks after delivery.
  • Findings suggest that vascular spasm may be the underlying mechanism for late-onset eclampsia.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known timeline for eclampsia onset.
  • MRI is valuable for differential diagnosis in postpartum neurological events.
  • Understanding the vascular etiology may inform future management strategies for late eclampsia.
