Introduction:Eclampsia is one of the most dreaded causes of adverse outcomes of pregnancy worldwide. It is one of the greatest causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality world over. We do not know the prevalence, management outcome, and the devastation caused by this dreaded disease in our center hence the need for this work.Materials and Methods:This is a 7-year retrospective review of all cases of eclampsia managed in Mater Misericordiae Hospital Afikpo, a rural secondary cum referral Catholic Mission Hospital in Afikpo, Ebonyi State in Southeastern Nigeria.Results:The prevalence of eclampsia in our center is 1.12% or one case of eclampsia for every 89 women that delivered in our facility. The majority of the women that had eclampsia in our center 56 (71.8%) were primigravidae. Seventeen women (21.8%) had various antenatal complications with 4 or 23.6% presenting with intrauterine fetal deaths and two (11.8%) each with intrauterine growth restriction, and domestic violence, respectively. Thirty-five or 44.9% of the women were delivered by emergency lower segment cesarean section. Fifteen or 17.9% babies were dead giving a perinatal mortality rate of 174 per 1,000After delivery, and 3 (3.8%) of the women had postpartum hemorrhage. Two women (2.6%) died giving a maternal mortality ratio of 2564 per 100,000 deliveries.Conclusion:Eclampsia is a dreaded obstetric disease with adverse fetal and maternal consequences that are not mitigating, and no effort should be spared in managing it effectively including public enlightenment.

Background: Eclampsia is a life threatening emergency, and continues to be a major cause of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. The purpose of our study was to analyse the cases of eclampsia in a tertiary care centre and to study the maternal and perinatal outcome. Methodology: This was a retrospective study of 7 Years, from January 2013 to December 2019. Case records of all eclamptic patients during this period were analyzed. Results: The incidence of eclampsia in our hospital was 0.7%. Majority of the patients were less than 25 years, and 95% were unbooked. Antepartum eclampsia accounted for 90% of cases. Main maternal complications included PPH, Abruption and HELLP syndrome. There was no maternal mortality. Conclusion: Eclampsia is still a serious complication of pregnancy. Timely referral to higher centre, appropriate management of pre-eclampsia can prevent eclampsia.

IntroductionPregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is a hypertensive disorder in pregnancy that occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy in the absence of previously known hypertension.PIH is a common and serious complication accompanying pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are multisystem disorders that can involve end organs like kidneys, liver, eyes, haematopoietic system and placenta. Though ocular involvement is not uncommon in PIH, ocular examination is not always done in all cases of PIH. Timely detection of changes in retinal vasculature can be a hint to the underlying changes in the vascular system of the various end organs of the human body including placental circulation. Adequate management of PIH is very important for both fetal and maternal well-being. AimTo evaluate the ocular manifestations in women affected by PIH (mild pre-eclampsia, severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia) presenting to a tertiary-level hospital. MethodologyThis was a hospital-based cross-sectional study carried out for a period of one year at a tertiary-level hospital. A total of 120 subjects diagnosed as cases of pre-eclampsia/eclampsia admitted to the eclampsia ward of the obstetric unit formed the study population. After taking history, a detailed ocular examination was done for all patients and the findings were noted.
