Eclampsia = Brain Scan?


Listen Later

According to the ACOG, eclampsia is a low frequency, high acuity emergent condition. The rate of an eclamptic seizure is 1/200 in those with preeclampsia without severe features but is 4 fold higher ( 4/200 ) in those with preeclampsia with severe features. Traditionally, “textbook eclampsia” management did not include cranial imaging. However, that consensus is changing! In this episode, we will review data making the case for a standardized approach to eclampsia, which includes universal non-contract cranial CT after eclampsia. We will highlight a Clinical Expert Series ACOG publication from July 2024 as well as an upcoming publication from Pregnancy Hypertension in March 2025 which makes the strong case for this radiological diagnostic tool. Listen in for details.
