Abstract: Except in association with molar or hydropic degeneration of the placenta, with or without a coexistent fetus, eclampsia before 20 weeks of gestation is rare and only few cases have been described. The case reported was that of a 24 year old primipara who had tonic-clonic seizures at 19 weeks gestation without prior Preeclampsia. She remained stable and was managed closely up to 36 weeks gestation. She had spontaneous vaginal delivery of a live baby at 38 weeks with good outcome. Atypical eclampsia may develop before 20 weeks of gestation and could pose serious management challenges. Such patients if carefully selected and closely monitored may have satisfactory outcome. This case deserves reporting because of its rare nature as several literature search did not reveal any reported case of eclampsia before 20 weeks that was successfully managed to term.
