Women with a history of eclampsia report more cognitive failures in daily life years after pregnancy. This may indicate subtle, persistent neurological effects following eclampsia.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Obstetrics
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Eclampsia is associated with neurological complications, including persistent white matter lesions.
  • Cognitive limitations are frequently reported by women years after an eclamptic pregnancy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess subjective cognitive failures in daily life among formerly eclamptic women.
  • To compare cognitive failure scores between formerly eclamptic, preeclamptic, and healthy control groups.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty formerly eclamptic women completed the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire.
  • Scores were compared to those of 31 formerly preeclamptic and 30 healthy parous controls.
  • Groups were matched for age and time since index pregnancy.

Main Results:

  • Formerly eclamptic women scored significantly higher on the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire than healthy controls (43.5 ± 14.6 vs. 36.1 ± 13.9, P < .05).

Conclusions:

  • Women with a history of eclampsia report more cognitive failures years post-pregnancy.
  • Potential cerebral white matter damage may underlie these subjective cognitive deficits.
  • Objective neurocognitive testing and neuroimaging are recommended for confirmation.
