Eclampsia is a serious medical condition that occurs during pregnancy, characterized by seizures in a woman who has preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is marked by high blood pressure and signs of damage to other organs, often the kidneys. Eclampsia can lead to severe complications for both the mother and the baby if not treated promptly. The exact cause of eclampsia is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to problems with blood vessels and the placenta. Treatment typically involves managing symptoms and delivering the baby, which can help prevent further complications and protect the health of both mother and child.
