-Abstract- The authors report a case of eclampsia in which brain MR examination showed reversible brain abnormalities.
A 27-year-old woman with eclamptic convulsion during her 36소 week of gestation was presented. Initial MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) revealed multiple hyperintense areas through the cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem, most likely related with cerebral ischemia and/or edema. Despite these severe and diffuse lesions, follow-up MRI’s obtained 8 days after admission and 2 months after discharge demonstrated marked and complete resolution of brain lesions, respectively.
