Implication

Case series reveals diffuse cerebral edema and basal ganglia involvement in eclampsia, suggesting severe neurologic manifestations in toxemia of pregnancy.

Key Points

Describe novel cerebral computed tomography (CT) neuroimaging characteristics in patients experiencing eclampsia secondary to toxemia of pregnancy.
Evaluated cerebral CT scans in two patients presenting with eclampsia (N=2).
Neuroimaging demonstrated diffuse cerebral edema across evaluated cases.
Scans revealed involvement of the basal ganglia, presenting a previously undescribed imaging feature of eclampsia.
