Abstract

A 16 years old pregnant women with no pathological antecedents, with normal blood pressure and biological parameters and without edema, presents an eclamptic crisis before delivery and another one after delivery, with total amaurosis. The eye fundus examination did not show pathological elements. The brain computerized tomography revealed the hypodense areas with ischemia aspects, about 5/2 cm in left occipital lobe and 3/1 cm în right loccipital lobe, also left parieto-occipital hypoperfused areas. In development of occipital ischemia beside placenta ischemia, genetic and immunologic factors there is also an inflamatory element determined by cytokines released from placenta.
