[Cerebral hemodynamic changes in eclampsia--case report].

Eclampsia is a rare condition that is peculiar to pregnant and puerperal women, and its pathophysiology still remains unclear. We conducted a 90-day radiological follow-up of a 29-year-old primigravida who developed eclampsia at 41 weeks of gestation. On admission, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed vasogenic edema predominantly in the parietal and occipital lobes; however with in 2 weeks, these lesions had disappeared.
