Untreated preeclampsia may progress to eclampsia,which is manifested by generalized tonic-clonic seizures.Eclampsia may develop as late as 10 days postpartum.Before the syndrome becomes clinically manifested,it is affecting the placenta through vasospasm and a series of small infarctions.The placenta's capacity to deliver oxygen and nutrients may be seriously diminished,and fetal growth may be restricted.Edema is common in pregnancy and is not an indicator of preeclampsia.
