The common neurological manifestations of pre‐eclampsia include headache, confusion, and visual disturbance; while isolated abducens nerve palsy in pre‐eclampsia is very rare. We report one case of a severe pre‐eclampsia with abducens nerve palsy at 39 weeks' gestation. There was no specific pathology, except hypertension, and the palsy resolved spontaneously.
