Abstract

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy such as pre-eclampsia and eclampsia have been associated with the development of peri-partum cardiomyopathy. Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia can also present in the late post-partum period and may be overlooked by clinicians. We report a rare case of late postpartum eclampsia heralding the onset of peri-partum cardiomyopathy.
