Abstract
Objective: Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy particularly severe preeclampsia and eclampsia result in significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Many of these misfunctions can aggravate some of the neuropathological complications of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. Method: In this review article, we described some of the neuropathological complications associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Results and conclusion: It is explained how the possible mechanism of neuropathological events triggers some of the complications associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Conclusion: A strong plea is made for the early detection of high blood pressure, its immediate control with rapid acting anti-hypertensive agents if necessary and timeous delivery of fetus as the exact pathogenesis of preeclampsia remains unknown.
