Eclampsia

Eclampsia is a serious condition that can occur during pregnancy, usually after preeclampsia, which is characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to other organs. Eclampsia involves the onset of seizures in a pregnant woman, which can be life-threatening for both the mother and baby. Symptoms may include severe headaches, vision changes, or difficulty breathing. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it requires immediate medical attention. Treatment often involves medications to control seizures and managing blood pressure, as well as delivering the baby to prevent further complications.
