What is Preeclampsia and Eclampsia (Ocular Manifestations)?
Preeclampsia and eclampsia are serious pregnancy complications characterized by hypertension and proteinuria, with potential for seizures (eclampsia). Ocular findings occur in up to 25% of preeclamptic patients and may herald worsening disease.
