MAGNETIC-RESONANCE-IMAGING ANGIOGRAPHY IN A CASE OF ECLAMPSIA

We experienced a typical case of eclampsia. After the onset of eclamsi a, we performed magnetic resonance imaging angiography (MRI angiograph y) to estimate the function of the cerebral artery. MRI angiography sh owed that spasm occurred in many cerebral arteries. The spasm was stil l observed in some arteries 13 day after the onset of eclampsia. Vasos pasm of eclampsia was clearly, easily and noninvasively confirmed in t his case by MRI angiography. This observation suggests that MRI angiog raphy is very useful and informative for diagnosis and in treatment of eclampsia.
