Eclampsia--monitoring of intraventricular CSF pressure.

Continuous monitoring of the intraventricular CSF pressure was performed for 48 h in a woman of 23 years who had postpartum eclampsia with unconsciousness for 5 days and decerebrate spasms suggesting compression of the upper brainstem. The intraventricular pressure was normal with minor variations of 10--20 mm Hg.
