Description
This book is composed of three chapters about eclampsia, which is a condition involving seizures that occur during a woman's pregnancy or shortly after giving birth. Chapter One analyses the clinical profile, neurological manifestations, imaging features, prognosis and risk factors which can predict neurological complications in eclampsia patients. Chapter Two describes the discovery of phosphoester steroid conjugates and proposes a role for them in pre-eclampsia. Chapter Three discusses postpartum eclampsia and describes which medications should be used for management of symptoms in patients who show signs of pre-eclampsia.
