Background: The present study was undertaken for assessing the incidence of status epilepticus patients with eclampsia. Materials & methods: A total of 100 patients with confirmed diagnosis of eclampsia were enrolled. Complete demographic and clinical details of all the subjects was obtained. Thorough medical evaluation of the patients was done. Each patient with seizures is systematically addressed for EEG study by the neurologic consulting team. Subjects younger than 18 years old were not included. SE was defined as the clinical occurrence of ongoing epileptic or repeated epileptic seizures without full recovery in between for more than 30 min. Incidence of status epilepticus was recorded. Results: Status epilepticus was seen in 20 percent of the patients. Educational qualification was found to be significant risk factor for occurrence of status epilepticus among eclampsia patients. Conclusion: Rare atypical disease symptoms are challenging to predict and prevent, but as doctors, we must be ready to treat them when they occur. Even in patients who do not exhibit any prodromal symptoms of preeclampsia, seizures in their atypical form can occur and turn a happy occasion in a mother's life into a nightmare.
