Description
Summary:Preeclampsia is a pregnancy specific disorder, characterized by hypertension and proteinuria and occurring after the second half of pregnancy. When the brain was affected by tonic-clonic seizures, a form of eclampsia occurs. Eclampsia occurs in approximately 0.5% of women with mild preeclampsia and in approximately 2% to 3% of those with severe preeclampsia. Visual symptoms of preeclampsia and eclampsia include decreased vision, photopsia, and visual field defects. Visual disturbances occur in an estimated 25% of patients with severe preeclampsia. Blindness, however, is reported in only 1% to 2% of eclamptic women, and is almost exclusively a temporary phenomenon. Sudden visual impairment or total blindness is a frightening and terrifying experience in a previously healthy person. In this presentation, the authors aimed to present the clinical course of the patient with bilateral cortical visual loss, who was operated an emergency Cesarean section due to eclampsia.
