The mean age was found to be 28.23 years. The most common indication of LSCS in patients with eclampsia was fetal distress followed by Unfavourable cervix, failure of induction and contracted pelvis. The most common complications seen in patients with eclampsia included Respiratory complications like aspiration pneumonia, pleural effusion and pulmonary edema.
