Abstract

Eclampsia remains a severe complication during pregnancy that results in significant maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. 0.05-0.09% of all pregnancies are complicated by eclampsia, which is characterized by tonic-clonic seizures with loss of consciousness and often accompanies other transient neurological findings. This is a report on a case of a severe form of preeclampsia at 33 weeks of gestation, followed by postpartal eclampsia with transient cortical blindness and a remarkable organic mental disorder. The clinical symptoms and the abnormalities visible in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain resolved within two weeks.
