[The occurrence of eclampsia in the last six decades in the University Gynecological Hospital, Greifswald )author's transl)].

Epricrisis evaluation of 308 eclampsias which were observed from 1910-1974 in a total of 62,910 birth (0,5%) showed a reduction of incidence from 3.1% to 0%. The etiology of eclampsia is still unknown even today. Primiparae are most frequently affected. Preexisting renal diseases and the pathological complications of a gestosis play a role. During the 64 years, therapy has alternated between the conservative and active. Accouchement force, if at all possible within the first hour after the first attack and simultaneous drug therapy (hypotensives, sedatives, diuretics) gave the best results. The regression of the frequency of eclampsia is due to the intensive antenatal consultation.
