Abstract
During the 5 year period 1966–1970, 94 eclamptic patients were delivered of infants at the City of Memphis Hospitals. The cerebrospinal fluid of the last 21 patients was studied in an attempt to clarify the various neurological manifestations of this syndrome. The results were compared with cerebral spinal fluid obtained at delivery from 25 patients with severe pre-eclampsia, 10 with chronic hypertensive vascular disease, 9 with documented seizure disorders, and 35 patients with normal term pregnancies. Nineteen of the 21 eclamptic patients had bloody spinal fluid (hematorrhachis), and this finding, in addition to others, is correlated with neurological deficits and prognosis.
