[Cerebral complication in eclampsia].
Many brain complications occur during eclampsia with various degree of gravity. The pathogenesis of these lesions continues to be a source of considerable controversy. Five cases of eclampsia with severe neurologic manifestations were treated in our surgical intensive care unit. The CT image appeared to be related to haemorrhagic lesions (3 cases) and ischaemic lesions (2 cases). The clinical course was favourable, often reversible, in cases with oedema and ischaemia maternal prognosis was poor in the case with haemorrhage.
