Overview
Seizures during pregnancy that are unrelated to Preeclampsia need to be distinguished from Eclampsia.
Differentiating Eclampsia from other Diseases
Such disorders include:
- Acute exacerbation of systemic lupus erythematous
- Adrenal Insufficiency or Acute Adrenal crisis
- Aneurysm of the brain
- Brain tumor
- Cerebellar Haemorrhage
- Disseminated herpes simplex
- Disseminated sepsis syndromes
- Drug Overdose syndromes
- Drug Withdrawal syndromes
- Encephalitis
- Fatty liver of pregnancy
- Hemolytic uremic syndrome
- Hypertensive encephalopathy
- Hypoglycemia
- Medication- or drug-related seizures
- Meningitis
- Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES)
- Primary Hyperaldosteronism
- Seizure disorders and Epilepsy
- Stroke (Hemorrhagic or Ischemic)
- Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Usually the presence of the signs of severe preeclampsia that precede and accompany eclampsia facilitate the diagnosis.
