Abstract:
We report the case of a 30-year-old primipara who developed a triplet pregnancy after having received artificial insemination. At the end of the eighth month of pregnancy she had a generalized tonic-clonic seizure and at the same time blood chemistry was indicative of HELLP syndrome. Brain MRI and EEG were altered immediately after the episode but returned to normal during a 6-month follow-up period.
