Preeclampsia: not simply pregnancy-induced hypertension.
Once classified as a seizure disorder and later as a hypertensive condition, preeclampsia is actually a multisystem disease. It remains a leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity. Clinical challenges include identifying patients who are at risk of serious complications and deciding whether it is safer for the fetus to be delivered or to remain in the uterus.
