Eclampsia, or toxemia of pregnancy, is a disorder of pregnancy characterized by seizures associated with hypertension, edema, and proteinuria. Toxemia of pregnancy carries significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Eclampsia most commonly occurs in the antepartum period. A minority of cases, however, may initially manifest in the postpartum period. We present the case of a 28-year-old female with postpartum eclampsia presenting to the Emergency Department with altered mental status. A review of the literature concerning postpartum toxemia and a discussion of appropriate management strategies follows.
子痫，即妊娠中毒症，是一种妊娠疾病，其特征为伴有高血压、水肿和蛋白尿的惊厥。妊娠中毒症会导致严重的母婴发病和死亡。子痫最常发生在产前。然而，少数病例可能最初在产后出现症状。我们报告一例28岁产后子痫女性患者，因精神状态改变就诊于急诊科。随后将回顾有关产后中毒症的文献并讨论适当的管理策略。
