  • Title: Management of acute severe hypertension and encephalopathy.
    Author: Mabie WC.
    Journal: Clin Obstet Gynecol; 1999 Sep; 42(3):519-31. PubMed ID: 10451768.
    Abstract:
    We still do not have an ideal drug to treat acute severe hypertension in pregnancy. Hydralazine and labetalol are the safest agents, but they are inadequate to control blood pressure in some women. Both hypertensive encephalopathy and eclampsia now appear to be forms of an acute process known as reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome.
