Excerpt from The Practitioner: A Journal of Practical Medicine We may have, then, during pregnancy, convulsions arising from intracranial disease, true epilepsy manifesting itself for the first time in a tainted subject, and epileptic attacks appearing once only, called forth by the irritation of the over-sensitive nervous system of the puerperal woman by the contraction of the uterus. These last may justly be called puerperal convulsions. With these classes of convulsions I have nothing to do now'except to eliminate them from con sideration; and.i come to consider a more severe and grave form - a form which is sudden in its onset, rapid in its progress, and, generally, fatal in its issue. There is another form which should, I think, be separated from the forms I have eliminated and from the one I am about to consider that is, that form which is met with occasionally in the subjects of chronic Bright's disease. I believe that this is different from that which is illustrated by the following cases. A very great majority of cases of puerperal convulsions, however, are associated with albuminuria, and it is of some cases of this kind that I now write. I do not state that in many cases the renal trouble alone fails to explain the convulsions; but I believe that there are some cases in which, although albuminuria in a severe form is present, yet the albuminuria is not the whole of the disease nor the whole of the condition giving rise to the convulsions. It is not my object to explain how renal lesions bring on convulsions, but simply to show that it is, in some cases at least, only a part, and it may be only an inconsiderable part, of the disease present. With this object, I shall relate two cases which have come under my notice - one of which recovered, so that I am not able to give the exact patho logical conditions present as found ou post-marten). Examin ation while the other died, and I am able to describe the conditions found after death. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
