Abstract

Although the technique of antenatal care is developed, the incidence of late postpartum eclampsia has been increased and its prevention is difficult. In addition, the diagnosis is more difficult if the patient did not show any symptoms of preeclampsia before delivery. We described one case of late postpartum eclampsia that occurred on 7th day after preterm delivery and has not been diagnosed before delivery including a review of this literature.
