Abstract:
Preeclampsia is defined as the development of hypertension with proteinuria, edema induced by pregnancy after 20th week of gestation. Eclampsia implies the occurrence of convulsions unrelated to any coexisting neurologic disease in a preeclamptic. The leading cause of maternal death in preeclampsia-eclampsia is intracranial hemorrhage. Other causes of morbidity include congestive heart failure with pulmonary edema, pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents, disseminated intravascular coagulation, acute renal failure, and septic shock. We experienced a case of death from intracranial hemorrhage in eclamptic patient undergoing cesarean section.
