title: Indomethacin-induced maternal convulsion in the treatment of preterm labour.
abstract: A caucasian 28-year-old woman at 25 weeks gestation with a diagnosis of preterm labour suffered a convulsion after the administration of indomethacin. Convulsions are described as an infrequent complication with this therapy in the non-pregnant population. No such convulsion has been described to date in pregnancy.
