Material and Method: The present study was a prospective study. A total number of 130 patients of tonic-clonic convulsion with pregnancy diagnosed as eclampsia were included in the study. All eclamptic patients either antepartum, intrapartum or postpartum were included in the study irrespective of their age, gestational age, parity and status of booking on admission. Results: During the study period incidence of eclampsia at our Centre was .82%. Total maternal death due to eclampsia was 8 and perinatal death was 49.
