Objectives: To define the prevalence rate of maternal mortality secondary to gestational hypertensive disease at the university maternity hospital in Damascus- Syria between 1995-2004 Methods: This is a descriptive - analytic cohort retrospective study Results: Findings in our study showed that the most important contributing factor in maternal mortality secondary to gestational hypertensive disease was the incidence of one eclamptic seizure which represents about 70% followed by failure to deliver standard care in 60% of cases and late arrival of patients to the hospital was seen in about 50%, and conservative management especially with intra-uterine fetal death represents 50%.

Conclusion : To reduce the maternal mortality secondary to gestational hypertensive disease we recommend periodic training in pre-eclampsia - eclampsia at high peak seasons, ascertain termination of pregnancy after patient is stabilized pay special attention to liver functions, adequate documentations and legislate forensic autopsies.
