title: [Characteristics of magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in patients with neurological complications of preeclampsia].
abstract: An analysis of brain magnetic resonance examinations in patients with neurological complications of preeclampsia published in English-language medical journals from 1980 to 2008 has been performed. Data systematization enabled to analyze the incidence of some MR-signs of brain injury typical for this pathology. Incidence, symmetry and volume of injury have been estimated. The most common areas of injury are occipital lobes of brain, which leads to typical visual impairments. All lobe injuries are generally symmetric. Isolated cortical or subcortical injury are rather rare, while combined injury of cortex and subcortex of different cerebral areas are predominant. A further data collection and study of brain examination in preeclampsia and eclampsy are necessary.
