We report a case of late postpartum eclampsia at Day 11 in a 40-year-old woman after normal pregnancy and delivery. The delayed eclamptic episode is defined by seizures between two days and four weeks after delivery. About 40% of late eclampsia has no premonitory symptoms. This case highlights the possible diagnosis of late eclampsia even after normal pregnancy and delivery. Active and prompt management, brain imaging are mandating in cases of persistent headaches in postpartum.
