title: Eclampsia.
abstract: Early detection and hospitalization in women with mild preeclampsia may prevent eclampsia. In the event of severe preeclampsia or eclampsia, delivery is indicated for the benefit of both mother and fetus. Thereafter, pathologic changes of preeclampsia and eclampsia, including major multiple organ system dysfunction, undergo complete reversal.
