Diagnostic Dilemma in Severe Preeclampsia with Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome and Neurocysticercosis in a Primigravida
Abstract: Seizures after 20 weeks of gestation are often presumed to be eclamptic. However, alternative etiologies such as neurocysticercosis (NCC) and Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) must be considered, particularly in atypical presentations. We report a rare case of a 23-year- old primigravida with severe preeclampsia and IUGR at 35+4 weeks who developed seizures post- LSCS. MRI revealed dual pathology-PRES and NCC-highlighting diagnostic challenges and the importance of multidisciplinary management.
