The study of late preeclampsia, especially preeclampsia, has been going on for many decades. The term «preeclampsia» is historically the youngest among others — toxemia, toxicosis, nephropathy, preeclampsia, late preeclampsia. However, the name change did not imply a better understanding of treatment, prevention, diagnosis and etiology. The lack of in-depth knowledge in the latter causes the imperfection of modern treatment and prevention and remains an inexhaustible source for discussion. The search for landmarks and the identification of the most important etiopathogenetic links of preeclampsia contributes to a better understanding of this pathology and the search for therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.
No conflict of interest was declared by the authors.
Key words: preeclampsia, defective implantation, myometrial junctional zone.
