Abstract
Although the incidence of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome was high in patients with eclampsia, nearly 20% of the patients with preeclampsia with neurologic symptoms also experienced posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. The similarities in clinical and radiologic findings of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome between the 2 groups support the hypothesis that these 2 patient groups have a shared pathophysiologic background. Thus, magnetic resonance imaging studies should be considered for patients with the recent onset of neurologic symptoms, regardless of the development of eclampsia.
