* seizures during ( or shortly after ) pregnancy can be a sign of eclampsia.

( Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are collectively called Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy and toxemia of pregnancy.

Patients who've experienced eclampsia are at increased risk for preeclampsia / eclampsia in a later pregnancy.

Seizures during pregnancy that are unrelated to preeclampsia need to be distinguished from eclampsia.

The treatment of eclampsia requires prompt intervention and aims to prevent further convulsions, control the elevated blood pressure, and immediately terminate the pregnancy -- via delivery of the newborn if possible.

In general, none of the signs of pre-eclampsia are specific, and even convulsions in pregnancy are more likely to have causes other than eclampsia in modern practice.

These events lead to signs and symptoms of toxemia including hypertension, renal, pulmonary, and hepatic dysfunction, and-in eclampsia, specifically-cerebral dysfunction.

Furthermore, women with preexisting vascular diseases ( hypertension, diabetes, and nephropathy ) or thrombophilic diseases such as the antiphospholipid syndrome are at higher risk to develop preeclampsia and eclampsia.

If severe, pre-eclampsia progresses to fulminant pre-eclampsia, with headaches, visual disturbances, and epigastric pain, and further to the HELLP syndrome and eclampsia.

The HELLP syndrome is more common, probably about 1 in 500 maternities, but may be as dangerous as eclampsia itself.

Several medications have been investigated for the treatment of HELLP syndrome, but evidence is conflicting as to whether magnesium sulfate decreases the risk of seizures and progress to eclampsia.

Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are sometimes treated as components of a common syndrome.

There is no specific treatment, but is monitored closely to rapidly identify pre-eclampsia and its life-threatening complications ( HELLP syndrome and eclampsia ).
