High-Yield Explanation
Termination of pregnancy is the only cure for pre-eclampsia. Headache, visual disturbances, or epigastric pain is indicative that convulsions may be imminent, and oliguria is another ominous sign. Severe preeclampsia demands anticonvulsant and usually antihypeensive therapy followed by delivery. Ref: Cunningham F.G., Leveno K.J., Bloom S.L., Hauth J.C., Rouse D.J., Spong C.Y. (2010).
