Eclampsia Journals

Eclampsia is the most common cause of seizures in pregnancy, after epilepsy. The incidence varies from 1 in 100 to 1 in 2000 pregnancies. Eclampsia represents 24% of all maternal deaths in India. Eclampsia is a major cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity in non-industrialized countries (up to 40% of perinatal deaths). We are reporting a retrospective study of eclampsia patients attending a tertiary care hospital. The study included 3907 deliveries made at VCSG Govt. Medical Science & Research Institute, Srinagar, Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, from April 2012 to September 2014. The total number of eclampsia cases was 98. Antepartum eclampsia cases were 87 and postpartum eclampsia cases were 11. The incidence of antepartum eclampsia was 2.22% (87/3907) in our center. The total number of maternal deaths from eclampsia was 6. The total case mortality rate was 11.11% (6/57). There were 6 early neonatal deaths most commonly due to prematurity. There were 20 (22.99%) intrauterine deaths.
