We present a challenging case of severe pre-eclampsia later complicated by eclampsia, severe renal failure, intestinal intussusception, septic shock, and stroke in a 26-year-old female primigravid patient in third trimester. We navigate through the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges faced in managing our patient to bring out lessons and proposals to prevent and manage similar cases in the future.
