Presentation: It is very easy to diagnose, as it shows itself by a generalized Tonic-Clonic seizure that manifest like grand mal, in a pregnant patient.
I know there are some other signs and symptoms, but knowing these two, you can both make the diagnosis of eclampsia and determine the management method, so do not waste time!
It occurs 25% Before Labor, 50% During Labor 25% After Delivery.
Attention: In post delivery seizure, rule out eclampsia, as well as other causes (drugs effect, …)
Attention: Most common etiology of death in Eclampsia is Hemorrhagic stroke due to Hypertension and thrombocytopenia.
