Maternal grand mal seizure leads to a surprising diagnosis of Dandy-Walker variant.

Pregnant women may present with abnormal symptoms that are assumed to be related to the pregnancy.

When a pregnant or newly postpartum woman has seizures, eclampsia may be the most the most likely diagnosis, but it may not be accurate.
