A 24-year-old primigravida female presented to the emergency department with a generalized tonic–clonic seizure 2weeks postpartum following an uneventful vagi­nal delivery. The seizure lasted approximately 3min, and she remained unconscious for 20min afterwards. In the preceding 3days, she had been experiencing an excru­ciating headache that began insidiously but progressively worsened. The pain was predominantly occipital, radiating down to her neck and extending towards the ver­tex. She described it as a relentless, throbbing sensation, akin to an intense pressure building inside her skull. The headache was resistant to simple analgesics and was exacerbated by movement, particularly when she changed positions or attempted to stand. She also reported a sense of heaviness in her head, making it difcult for her to concentrate or engage in routine activities. Throughout this period, she developed associated symptoms of nausea and vomiting, which became more pronounced as the headache intensied. Bright lights and loud noises aggravated her discomfort, forcing her to retreat into a dark and quiet room. Despite her worsening symptoms, she attributed them to postpartum fatigue and dehydration, delaying medical atten­tion until the convulsive episode occurred.
