Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain findings in severe pre–eclampsia/eclampsia

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain findings in severe pre–eclampsia/eclampsia

MRI is mainly used in obstetrics in the evaluation of maternal bony pelvis, the cervix for cervical incompetence, localisation of placental site, diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease and its severity, and in diagnosing fetal malformations such as renal agenesis. This study aimed to correla...
