title: [Prognosis in newborns after mother's preeclampsia].
abstract: Preeclampsia (PE) is associated with 3 main risks for the fetus: perinatal death, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), preterm birth. Perinatal mortality is increased in infants with IUGR or asphyxia. Conversely, mortality and morbidity associated with preterm birth are not altered by PE without IUGR or asphyxia. Very preterm infant with IUGR are exposed to high risk of prolonged respiratory insufficiency. Neurological complications of prematurity are not more frequent in infants born to mothers with PE. Nevertheless birth asphyxia, (i.e. placental abruption) is associated with impaired neurological out-come especially in infants with neonatal encephalopathy. Long term outcome of infants born to mothers with PE is strongly correlated to gestational age. IUGR increases the risk of hypertension and metabolic syndrome in adulthood. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy can by caused by a fetal fatty-acid oxidation disorder.
