Abstract:
Objective To assess the cerebral CT findings and clinical correlation in eclampsia.Methods Cranial CT scan was performed in 18 patients with eclampsia,3 cases underwent contrast-enhanced CT.Eight of them followed-up by CT scan.Results 14 cases had extensive low-density lesions represented cerebral edema involving the subcortical white matter in cerebrum with predominance in the occipital lobes,the frontal and parietal lobes also involved.4 cases appeared as small low-density foci in the brain,2 cases accompanied with multiple small intracranial hemorrhage.Conclusion CT scan is a good method in showing the cerebral lesions in patients with eclampsia,which can early find the lesions and can be used for follow-up.
