Background: Pre-eclampsia is a complex disease process originating at the maternal- fetal interface that affects multiple organ systems. The exact pathophysiology of preeclampsia not known but it considered to be associated with endothelial cell dysfunction, increased inflammatory responses and hypercoagulability. receptors located on platelets are activated in pre-eclampsia by several protease...

Objective: To find whether placental laterality as determined by ultrasound can be used as predictor for the development of pre-eclampsia. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, R.N.T. Medical College, Udaipur from 2014 to 2015. 100 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic both OPD and IPD at 20–24 weeks of gestation without any high risk ...

I N clinical practice it is important to determine whether increased intracranial pressure is present. This allows one to alter hemodynamic management, predict the potential for neurologic deterioration, and guide therapeutic removal of cerebrospinal fluid or avoid such withdrawal. A spinal leak or drainage of cerebrospinal fluid can create an imbalance between supratentorial and infratentorial...

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare clinico-neuroradiologic condition, not commonly reported in the literature. PRES is an uncommon complication of severe preeclampsia/eclampsia. We report the management of one patient with postpartum preeclampsia as an association of HELLP syndrome presenting with status-epileptics. Early diagnosis along with timely supportive therapy...

group it was 20 percent. In study group, 22.5 percent Caesarean sections were done due to impending eclampsia and eclampsia, 705 percent due to accidental haemorrhage and 5 percent due to IUGR. Maternal complication in study and control subjects. In the case group, maximum number of the women (16%) showed signs of impending eclampsia, while among control women, maximum number (10%) developed po...

Reversible, predominant posterior leucoencephalopathy may develop in patient with preeclampsia, eclampsia or delayed PPE. Its clinicoradiological diagnosis is characterized by clinical findings of headache, visual perception defect, altered mental status, and seizures, in conjunction with radiological findings of posterior cerebral whitematter edema/hypodensities.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rarely encountered condition during pregnancy. A 21-year-old pregnant woman with labour pains was hospitalized in our clinic. Diagnosis of severe preeclampsia was made based on her clinical and laboratory findings. She suffered from convulsive episodes during postpartum period which lead to initiation of treatment for eclampsia. However neurological ...
