This is
prospective observational study in our hospital. CT scan of brain is performed within 48 hours of eclampsia after
confinement of fetus and after stabilising the mother with standard MgSO4 protocol. The CT scans of brain are performed
with 5mm and 10mm section in the axial plain. CT scan of brain shows, 32% have cerebral edema, 23% have cerebral
infract, 8% have cerebral haemorrhage, while 37% have no detectable findings. Parietal region of the brain is affected in
67% followed by parieto-occipital area (17%), occipital area (8%) and brain stem (8%). 68 % mothers have headache, 18%
have visual disturbances, 34% have altered sensorium with hyper-reflexia and 37% have coma. CT scan of brain in
eclampsia can provide useful intra cerebral information and should be done in cases with severe neurologic manifestations,
if possible for every eclamptic mother</Abstract><Email>drpebyreddy@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>10</volume><issue>3</issue><year>2019</year><keyword>Eclampsia, Cerebral Edema, Cerebral Hemorrhage, Cerebral Infarct, Altered Sensorium, Visual Disturbance, Coma.</keyword><AUTHORS>Thiravathuru Vittal Mohan,Subhashini Kanchi</AUTHORS><afflication>Associate Professor of General Surgery, Sree Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences, Pondicherry (Affiliated to Bharath University, Chennai), India,Associate Professor of General Surgery, Sree Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences, Pondicherry (Affiliated to Bharath University, Chennai), India</afflication></Article></Articles>
