AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The relation between bodily build and susceptibility to eclampsia has been controversial for nearly two centuries and the issue has been confused by modern studies of women with nonconvulsive hypertensive disorders in whom the diagnosis of preeclampsia is frequently erroneous. The present study is based upon 193 previously nulliparous and 49 multiparous eclamptic women. Sixty-three of the previously nulliparous women were compared with normal controls matched for age, race, parity, clinic, nonclinic, or private status, and as closely as possible with the time of delivery. Eclampsia spares no habitus, but has a slight predilection for underweight women.

The anatomic and physiologic changes that occur during pregnancy are unique. A neurologist needs to be aware of normal pregnancy-induced physiologic changes in the cardiovascular, renal, hematologic, and autoimmune systems, and the local anatomic changes, which include alteration of body habitus and pelvic ligaments. These changes are clearly advantageous, but in certain circumstances may predispose to pathology.

An obese body habitus may interfere with diagnosis of potentially life-threatening conditions. This report describes an obese woman who presented with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and diffuse infiltrates. Her body habitus disguised her parturient abdomen and she could not provide a history because she was intubated and paralysed.
