Longitudinal follow up of delayed eclampsia using cerebroangiography.
A 33-year-old primigravida experienced a delayed eclamptic convulsion. Following the convulsion, an i.v. administration of magnesium sulfate was utilized in response to cerebroarterial vasospasms, which were seen before and 1 week after the convulsion. Our findings confirm that the appropriate use of magnesium sulfate is necessary in such cases.
