    Journal: Wiad Lek; 2005; 58(7-8):433-6. PubMed ID: 16425798.
    Abstract:
    Hypertension, proteinuria and edema, a syndrome called as EPH gestosis or preeclampsia is one of the most common causes of mortality of pregnant women and fetus. The etiology of the disease is not fully understood, the genetic factors are thought to play the main role. Changes in the central nervous system are dangerous complications of the gestosis which could cause convulsive eclampsia and stroke. The neuroimaging techniques, the neurophysiological and ultrasonographic investigations allow to diagnose the neurological complications of gestosis and to begin the treatment (symptomatic, because of unknown etiology) at right time. Then the cooperation of neurologists and obstetrician may prevent a lot of complications during pregnancy and delivery.
