Abstract:
Four cases of toxaemia of pregnancy examined with computed tomography scans of the brain are reported. A review of the literature reveals 19 other cases with previously reported CT brain scans. The review shows intracerebral oedema as the main finding. Haemorrhage, massive or punctate was noted in four cases. The pathogenesis of the CT changes and the clinico-radiological correlation of the visual disturbances are discussed.
