Abstract

Cranial nerves palsy associated with preeclampsia is reported in literature. Facial and abducens palsies were the most nerve disorders described.
Only eleven cases have been reported in the literature.
We report the case of a 27-years-old patient who presented abducens nerve palsy in immediately after the delivery of severe pre-eclampsia. No
specific pathology was found. Symptoms of abducens nerve palsy have resolved spontaneously by controlling blood pressure after delivery.

Keywords:

Pre-eclampsia; abducens nerve palsy; hypertension; pregnancy
