Antepartum Eclampsia with Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome

2012 
Eclampsia is an occurrence of convulsion and or coma with hypertension, proteinuria, and/or edema during pregnancy between 20 weeks of gestation and 48 h postpartum without any preexisting neurologic disorders. The complications of the central nervous system due to eclampsia are known. Some of these are serious and some are even fatal. But, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) causing coma and quadriplegia is rare, but reversible with prompt diagnosis and treatment without any residual neurologic disorder. We present one case of Antepartum Eclampsia with PRES with complete recovery.
