TUBERCULOMA PRESENTING AS ATYPICAL ECLAMPSIA- A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 13
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE Eclampsia is defined as development of tonic-clonic convulsions or coma in a woman with preeclampsia, which cannot be contributed to any other cause. Occurrence of eclampsia before 20 weeks of pregnancy and after 48 hours of delivery in the absence of typical signs of hypertension and/or proteinuria is termed as atypical eclampsia. Atypical or non-classic eclampsia will have some symptoms of eclampsia, but without the usual proteinuria or hypertension. All patients with atypical onset should undergo neurological evaluation to rule out neurologic causes of seizures. Cerebral tuberculosis is a rare and serious form of disease secondary to haematogenous spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here, we present a case of cerebral tuberculoma with seizures in late pregnancy mimicking eclampsia.
