Abstract
Eclampsia is a life-threatening condition that is often preceded by a preeclamptic diagnosis of hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks gestation. However, there is evidence to believe that eclampsia does not always follow this linear pattern giving rise to the term atypical preeclampsia-eclampsia. This aberrant presentation of eclampsia can lead to untimely diagnosis and can contribute to maternal mortality and morbidity. We report a rare case of a previously healthy 17-year-old primigravid at 40 weeks and 4 days gestation who developed a new onset generalized tonic-clonic seizure during Cesarean section delivery. The patient had been asymptomatic except for transient increased blood pressure during her hospital admission. Her risk factors for eclampsia included age less than 20 years-old, nulliparity, limited prenatal care, uninsured, and recent immigration status from Guatemala. Our aim is to increase awareness of puerperium atypical eclampsia in asymptomatic patients affected by multiple social determinants of health.

Key words: Eclampsia, Pre-eclampsia, Atypical preeclampsia-eclampsia, Seizure, Social determinants of health
