Eclampsia is the occurrence of generalized convulsions during pregnancy, labor or within seven days of delivery, not due to epilepsy or other convulsive disorders. It is largely a preventable disease provided the pregnant women get regular antenatal care. Despite all prevention measures, diagnostic modalities and intensive treatment, it is still one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in the developing world. In this review, we present definitions, epidemiologic data, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of this life threatening condition.
子痫是指在妊娠期间、分娩过程中或分娩后七天内发生的全身性惊厥，并非由癫痫或其他惊厥性疾病引起。如果孕妇接受定期产前检查，子痫在很大程度上是一种可预防的疾病。尽管采取了所有预防措施、诊断方法和强化治疗，但它仍然是发展中国家孕产妇死亡的主要原因之一。在本综述中，我们介绍了这种危及生命状况的定义、流行病学数据、病理生理学、诊断和管理。
