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.

Ischemic Stroke in Women: Understanding Sex-Specific Risk Factors, Treatment Considerations, and Outcomes.

Ischemic stroke is a major cause of mortality and disability and has become a significant public health concern among women. Overall, women have more ischemic stroke events than men, in part due to their longer life span, and also suffer from more severe stroke-related disabilities compared to men. Women are also more likely than men to present with atypical non-focal neurological symptoms, potentially leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of solute carrier family transporters (SLCs) in the placenta, linking their dysregulation to pregnancy disorders like preeclampsia (PE) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
- Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of public data and verified findings through qPCR, focusing on differentially expressed SLCs in PE and IUGR samples.
- The results showed significant downregulation of specific SLCs (SLC6A8, SLC16A10, SLC25A3, SLC29A3) in affected placental samples, suggesting their potential role in the pathogenesis of these pregnancy complications.

As an example of a low- and middle-income country (LMIC), India ranks pre-eclampsia among the top three causes of maternal mortality, following haemorrhage and infections. It is one of the primary concerns for maternal and perinatal health in LMICs. Many LMICs lack clear consensus and guidelines for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, including pre-eclampsia.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a heterogeneous disease that seriously affects the health of mothers and fetuses. Lack of detection assays, its diagnosis and intervention are often delayed when the clinical symptoms are atypical. Using personalized pathway-based analysis and machine learning algorithms, we built a PE diagnosis model consisting of nine core pathways using multiple cohorts from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a rare yet potentially life-threatening condition. The diagnosis is difficult as there are other conditions presenting with features akin to TMA during the peripartum period such as eclampsia, preeclampsia, hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets (HELLP) syndrome, and antiphospholipid syndrome. A 28-year-old woman with no significant past medical history developed TMA following a massive hemorrhage after an emergency cesarean section at 41 weeks of gestation.
