Efficacy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Diagnosis of Eclampsia with Clinical Correlation and Follow Up: A Prospective Study in A Tertiary Hospital
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Aims and objectives: 1)To analyse the imaging features in eclampsia 2)To study the distribution and nature of cranial MRI findings in eclampsia. 3) To correlate the MRI findings with neurological symptoms and blood pressures.4) To predict the pathogenesis associated with abnormal MR imaging findings. 5) Clinical follow up to see for the recovery from neurological deficits. Summary: In the present study, during the period of 12 months ,55 cases of eclampsia were evaluated with MRI brain.29 cases showed changes of Progressive Reversible Leuko Encephalopathy as T2 hyperintense signals with no restriction on DWI. Conclusion: Cranial MRI is an important diagnostic tool in evaluation of intracerebral changes in cases with eclampsia.The posterior cerebral circulation is most commonly affected in cases of eclampsia.The posterior reversible encephalopathy lesions in eclampsia are reversible.
