Method:Total number of women with severe preeclampsia and eclampsia after 20wks were 146. Women with medical complications were excluded. Hypertensive women were managed as per existing protocol of the institution, after detailed history, examination and investigations. Anti-hypertensive of choice was labetalol and oral nefedipine, Mgso4 was used as anti-convulsant. Result: Out of 146 cases of severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, majority 91(62.32%) were between 21-25yrs years of age and 76(52%) were primigravida.

Common mode of delivery was caesarean section 106(72.6%) women, majority in view of failed induction or non-progress. Maternal complications were noted 43(29.5%) attributed to renal dysfunction, postpartum haemorrhage, DIC, placental abruption, HELLP, pulmonary oedema Total 146 cases ,live birth 119 (81%), 24% were required NICU care, 15(10.27%) cases were IUFD, 4(2.73%) babies stillborn.2 (1.36%) neonatal deaths,1(0.68%) perinatal death. Conclusion: Maternal and perinatal complications are more in patients with eclampsia. The incidence of eclampsia can be reduced by regular antenatal care, early recognition and prompt treatment of severe pre-eclampsia.
