(子痫又名风痉,一名子冒,也称作类中风。此处附带说明因破伤、失血、吐血、鼻衄导致的类中风情况。)
妊娠期间发生的子痫(妊娠期癫痫样发作),属于凶险的证候,若不及时治疗,必然导致流产。其症状表现为牙关紧闭、颈项强直、手足抽搐挛缩(“螈”同义)、言语蹇涩不利、痰涎壅盛、神志不清。或者突然眩晕跌倒,口不能言,状似中风,但实际上并非中风之证,不可按中风来治疗。即使没有痰湿,言语如常,但表现出类似风动的症状,多因血燥、血虚所致,也不可一概以治风的方法处理而误诊,应以羚羊角散为主方治疗。
冯氏说:孕妇突然僵仆倒地,痰涎壅盛,神志不清,这是血虚导致阴火炎上,鼓动痰浊所致,左脉微数,右脉滑大,名为子痫。适宜用四物汤养血,酒炒黄芩清热,二陈汤化痰理气,治疗方法仍以安胎为主,不要过度使用治疗中风的药物。这是由于血虚生热,热盛生风,都是内生的风火,养血则风自灭。若是心肝风热,用钩藤汤;肝脾血虚,用加味逍遥散;肝脾郁怒,用加味归脾汤;气逆痰滞,用紫苏饮;脾郁痰滞,用二陈汤加竹沥、姜汁。
密斋说:孕妇气虚挟带痰火证,状似中风,突然跌倒随即醒来,醒后复发,用清神汤主方治疗,兼服寿星丸。我认为孕妇患子痫,有的出现眼前发黑昏厥的情况,这在胎前绝少见到,但只要出现这种证候,就是儿晕(胎儿晕厥),属于气与痰的问题,所以眼前发黑昏厥只服用紫苏饮,千万不要服用苏合丸及乌药顺气散等药物。至于因破伤失血或吐衄血,忽然出现牙关紧闭、颈项强直、背部挺直等类中风症状,都是因为失血所致,这一点不可不知,用荆防安胎散治疗。

(Zi Xian, also known as Feng Jing [Wind Spasm], Yi Ming Zi Mao [Sub-mao], or Lei Zhong Feng [Stroke-like Syndrome]. This section also addresses stroke-like syndromes caused by traumatic wounds, blood loss, hematemesis, and epistaxis.)
Zi Xian (eclampsia/epileptic seizures during pregnancy) is a critical condition. If not treated early, it will inevitably lead to miscarriage. The symptoms include lockjaw (mouth closed tightly), stiffness of the neck, spasms and contractures of the limbs ("Yi" has the same meaning as "Chou"), slurred speech, excessive phlegm and saliva, and unconsciousness. Alternatively, there may be sudden dizziness and collapse, inability to speak, resembling stroke syndrome, but it is actually not stroke; therefore, it should not be treated as stroke. Even if there is no phlegm and speech is normal, but wind-like symptoms are present, it is mostly due to blood dryness or blood deficiency. It should not be generally treated with wind-dispelling methods to avoid error. The main formula is Lingyang Jiao San (Antelope Horn Decoction).
Feng Shi stated: When a pregnant woman suddenly collapses stiffly, with excessive phlegm and saliva and unconsciousness, this is due to blood deficiency causing Yin fire to flare upwards, stirring up phlegm. The left pulse is slightly rapid, and the right pulse is slippery and large. This is named Zi Xian. It is suitable to use Si Wu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) to nourish blood, wine-processed Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root) to clear heat, Er Chen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction) to resolve phlegm and regulate Qi. The treatment method should still focus on calming the fetus, and one should not overuse medicines for treating stroke. This arises from blood deficiency generating heat, and excessive heat generating wind; these are internal winds and fires. Nourishing the blood extinguishes the wind naturally. If there is wind-heat in the Heart and Liver, use Gouteng Tang (Uncaria Decoction); if there is blood deficiency in the Liver and Spleen, use Jiawei Xiaoyao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder); if there is liver-spleen depression and anger, use Jiawei Guipi Tang (Modified Restore the Spleen Decoction); if there is rebellious Qi and phlegm stagnation, use Zisu Yin (Perilla Infusion); if there is spleen depression and phlegm stagnation, use Er Chen Tang added with Zhuli (Bamboo Sap) and Jiangzhi (Ginger Juice).
Mi Zhai stated: For pregnant women with Qi deficiency complicated by phlegm-fire, presenting with symptoms resembling stroke, sudden collapse followed by immediate awakening, and recurrence after waking, treat primarily with Qingshen Tang (Spirit-Clearing Decoction), and concurrently administer Shouxing Wan (Longevity Pill). I believe that for pregnant women suffering from Zi Xian, some experience blurred vision, blackouts, and cold extremities. This is extremely rare before delivery. However, whenever this syndrome occurs, it is termed "Er Yun" (Fetal Fainting), belonging to issues of Qi and Phlegm. Therefore, for blurred vision and fainting, only Zisu Yin (Perilla Infusion) should be taken. One must be cautious and absolutely avoid taking Suhé Wan (Styrax Pill) and Wuyao Shunqi San (Tso-yao Regulating Qi Powder) and similar medicines. As for cases where traumatic wounds, blood loss, or hematemesis/epistaxis suddenly cause lockjaw, neck stiffness, and back rigidity resembling stroke, these are all caused by blood loss. This point must not be ignored; treat with Jingfang Antai San (Schizonepeta and Saposhnikovia Fetus-Calming Powder).

Add three pig hearts' blood, stir well, mix with the powder to form pills, coated with Zhusha (Cinnabar). Take 50 pills per dose, washed down with Renshen (Ginseng) decoction, three times daily.
