Eclampsia is a serious medical condition that occurs during pregnancy, characterized by the onset of 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. Early detection and monitoring are crucial for improving outcomes.
