The Authors, after having evaluated the literature data, report, on the basis of their clinical experience, a new pathogenic hypothesis of the E.P.H. gestosis which would be: “Disease due to missed materno-foetal adaptation”, correlated to the activation of the maternal immunocompetent system against the “not self” antigens, carried by the trophoblast and codified by the genoma of the father’s origin. It is also due to missed destruction of the tunica media of the placental bed arteries and to the thromboplastinic activity of the trophoblastic cells damaged by the immunologic reaction. This disease, clinically represents, the appearance of a “temporaneous” (pre-eclampsia) or “definitive” (eclampsia) defeat of the fibrinolytic control mechanisms against a disseminated intravascular coagulopathy.
