Neuroimaging Features in Eclamptic Encephalopathy and their Correlation with Clinical and Laboratory Parameters: a Prospective Observational Study.

Background: New onset seizures in pregnancy and postpartum are considered eclampsia as the default diagnosis. Other causes, such as intracranial haemorrhage, subarachnoid haemorrhage, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis or acute ischaemic stroke, have a similar mode of presentation, but need prompt diagnosis and institution of specific measures to decrease the risk of mortality and morbidity. Neuroimaging plays an important role in providing a specific diagnosis and hence aids in proper management.
