    Objective: To describe the risk factors for Preeclampsia with severe criteria in a pregnant woman attended at the Chavin de Pariarca Health Center. Materials and Methods: The methodology was observational, retrospective, and descriptive. Information was collected from the medical history of the pregnant woman diagnosed with Preeclampsia with severe criteria. Variables included personal and obstetric history, maternal and perinatal complications, and obstetric management. A literature review was conducted to discuss the findings. Results: A case is presented of a 44-year-old grand multipara at 38 weeks of gestation who presented to the emergency department with symptoms of headache, epigastric pain, blood pressure of 198/110 mmHg, and a diagnosis of preeclampsia with severe criteria. Treatment included magnesium sulfate administration, antihypertensive drugs, and hydration. The delivery concluded with an emergency cesarean section, resulting in a female newborn weighing 3,710 grams, with an APGAR score of 7 at one minute and 9 at five minutes, and clear green amniotic fluid. Conclusions: Advanced maternal age, high parity, obesity, and a history of preeclampsia in a previous pregnancy were identified as risk factors for preeclampsia with severe criteria.
