During routine measurements one of the patients experienced a grand mal epileptic seizure. Since the parameters of both heart rate and blood pressure variability were sequentially altered immediately before the seizure, this case report provides an interesting insight into autonomic cardiovascular control in a developing convulsive fit and the pathophysiological generation of a grand mal seizure in pregnancy. © Walter de Gruyter Human reproduction, growth & development nationallicence Gynaecology & obstetrics nationallicence Paediatric medicine nationallicence blood pressure variability nationallicence eclampsia nationallicence grand mal seizure nationallicence heart rate variability nationallicence pregnancy nationallicence Faber Renaldo Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Leipzig, Germany aut Stepan Holger Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Leipzig, Germany aut Baumert Mathias University of Applied Sciences, Jena, Germany aut Voss Andreas University of Applied Sciences, Jena, Germany aut Walther Thomas Department of Pharmacology, Erasmus Medical Center, The Netherlands aut Journal of Perinatal Medicine Walter de Gruyter 32/6(2004-11-04), 538-540 0300-5577 32:6<538 2004 32 jpme https://doi.org/10.1515/JPM.2004.124 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1515/JPM.2004.124 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Faber Renaldo Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Leipzig, Germany aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Stepan Holger Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Leipzig, Germany aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Baumert Mathias University of Applied Sciences, Jena, Germany aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Voss Andreas University of Applied Sciences, Jena, Germany aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Walther Thomas Department of Pharmacology, Erasmus Medical Center, The Netherlands aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Journal of Perinatal Medicine Walter de Gruyter 32/6(2004-11-04), 538-540 0300-5577 32:6<538 2004 32 jpme CC0 http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-gruyter
