A 23-year-old woman who had an uneventful prenatal course and normal delivery developed severe, generalized headache and blurred vision on postpartum day four. The patient was noted to have generalized hyperreflexia and sustained ankle clonus. The blood pressure was 170/100 mm Hg, there was no
OBJECTIVE
The study aims to evaluate the management, maternal-fetal outcomes, and prescription behavior among inpatients with severe preeclampsia and eclampsia.
METHODS
This prospective cohort study in a tertiary referral center was conducted in 164 inpatient pregnant women who fulfilled the
OBJECTIVE
Magnesium sulfate is an evidence-based anticonvulsant drug used to prevent and control eclampsia. Controversy persists on routine administration of magnesium sulfate in cases of pre-eclampsia without severe features. Our objective was to assess the pattern of blood pressure and maternal
This is the second case in literature of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in a twin pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia-eclampsia. A 27-year-old primigravida with dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy was admitted at 36 weeks of gestation for induction of labour due to
BACKGROUND
Pre-eclampsia, a multisystem disorder of pregnancy characterised by high blood pressure and protein in the urine, is associated with endothelial dysfunction. Nitric oxide mediates many functions of the endothelium, including vasodilatation and inhibition of platelet aggregation.
Neurological manifestations and neuroimaging abnormalities are common in patients with severe preeclampsia; however, the differences between these abnormal features occurring during early- and late-onset severe preeclampsia are unclear, and the factors associated with abnormal imaging BACKGROUND
Coexisting medical complications in pregnancy can present in a fashion similar to preeclampsia and can be challenging to differentiate.
METHODS
We present a patient who, at 27 3/7 weeks of gestation, fulfilled diagnostic criteria for severe preeclampsia, including hypertension,
OBJECTIVE
To estimate the frequency of abnormal laboratory test results in pregnancy-associated hypertension and the relationship with pregnancy outcomes.
METHODS
This was a secondary analysis of a multicenter trial of vitamin C and E for prevention of pregnancy-associated hypertension in low-risk
BACKGROUND
The maternity mortality rate in the Santos lowlands region, priority region of São Paulo/Brazil, is higher when compared to regions in the state of São Paulo. The hypertensive disorders are implicated in approximately 20% of death. Severe preeclampsia (PE) is recognized as the frequent
A 37-year-old gravida 5 para 4 with gestational hypertension underwent uneventful repeat cesarean delivery and tubal ligation under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia. On postoperative day 3, she developed a postural headache, unrelieved by caffeine, ibuprofen, and hydration. On postoperative day
The hypothesis is set forth that maternal release of epinephrine in the adrenal medulla causes systemic platelet activation (SPA) which, in turn, initiates coagulation via the intrinsic pathway and leads to thrombin generation. Thrombin causes inflammation, which is the underlying cause of acute
Seven patients with acute preeclampsia and six with superimposed preeclampsia were infused intravenously with incremental doses of prostacyclin (up to 8 ng/min/kg during 80 minutes). Prostacyclin infusion was accompanied by significant decreases in maternal blood pressure and consistent rises in
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical features and specific characteristics of magnetic resonance image (MRI) in preeclampsia-eclampsia patients with reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS).
METHODS
The investigators analyzed the combined clinical, laboratory and neuroradiographic
OBJECTIVE
To observe whether the pregnancy can be safely continued for a reasonable period to gain fetal maturity in cases of eclampsia and severe pre-eclampsia.
METHODS
Fifty-one patients were followed up in a specialized care (eclampsia) unit in Dhaka Medical College and Hospital between January
OBJECTIVE
Postpartum preeclampsia/eclampsia is the presence of hypertension and proteinuria, with or without seizures, occurring up to 4 weeks after delivery. We describe the Emergency Department (ED) presentation, signs and symptoms, results of diagnostic studies, management, and outcome in a
