Abstract
In a majority of the patients in our study, eclampsia was the main manifestation, and only 10% were preceded by severe preeclampsia. These results are comparable to recent studies, which found in their series that 40 to 60% of eclampsia manifested without preeclamptic prodromi. Eclampsia can occur after an unremarkable pregnancy, in women without risk factors, and then it is hardly predictable. Prenatal follow-up must be very cautious paying attention to any markers such as intermittent hypertension, functional symptoms or appearance of proteinuria.
