We qualitatively assessed the regional distribution of vasogenic edema in a case of postpartum eclampsia. Although diffusion-weighted imaging showed no abnormalities, bilateral high signal was seen on T2-weighted images and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps. ADC of 1.45 +/- 0.10 mm2/s x
Eclampsia is characterized by high morbidity and mortality wordwide. Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is used frequently as a prophylaxis for eclamptic seizure in clinical settings. However, the underlying mechanism is less studied, we have previously demonstrated that MgSO4 pretreatment decreases
Clinical and neuroradiological studies involving cerebral angiography were conducted in four patients with eclampsia. In three cases (case 1, 2 and 4), neurological focal signs, abnormal low density areas on cranial CT and T2 high intensity areas on cranial MRI disappeared within a month. But in one
The presence of cerebral edema in the occipital lobes are demonstrated by computed tomography (CT) in a patient presenting with eclampsia preceded by blindness at 36 weeks' gestation. After delivery by cesarean section, the patient's management included the use of mannitol and dexamethasone
OBJECTIVE
This study was undertaken to describe and correlate clinical findings with computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging scan results in 10 women with eclampsia and widespread cerebral edema.
METHODS
This was a clinical descriptive study of 10 women with eclampsia and symptomatic
Pulmonary edema is among the least frequently diagnosed criteria for severe pre-eclampsia. A higher incidence of pulmonary edema was noted in older patients, multigravidas, and patients with underlying chronic hypertension that developed prior to delivery. The development of pulmonary edema was also
In eclampsia, MR imaging shows reversible T2 hyperintensities in a parietal and occipital distribution. Findings on diffusion-weighted images suggest that these abnormalities are areas of vasogenic edema. We describe the presence of both cytotoxic and vasogenic edema, as detected by
In 6 cases of eclampsia in the course of pre and post-partum, we could observe neurological disorders associated with acute pulmonary oedema with acute respiratory distress occurring 5 to 72 hours after the first convulsive crisis. Hemodynamic check-up provided various results: 3 cases corresponded
