[Eclampsia with a transient neurological deficit].
The results of certain clinical studies indicated the possibility of the onset and development of cerebrovascular diseases during pregnancy. Pathogenesis of this cascade of developments is frequently unknown. Eclampsia is the leading clinical syndrome, associated with numerous neurological complications. This is a case report of a 24 years old patient, who in a short period became extremely psychomotorically, agitated, with bilateral iridoplegia and positive Babinsky reflex during the development of eclampsia. Soon, a series of grand-mal epileptic attacks developed in the patient. However, the revealed clinical phenomenology was completely withdrawn within 6 hours, after the adequate estimation of clinical status and timely therapeutic measures. We have concluded that the patient had transient global cerebral ischemia, as a part of acute hypertensive endephalopathy.
