Abstract

It is expected that the neurological symptoms may be occur during the preeclampsia. Cortical blindness is a rare complication of preeclampsia and commonly reversible. In the pathogenesis of cortical blindness vasogenic edema is essential. This condition recovery with treatment of preeclampsia andanti-edema. Generally symptoms are completely improved. In this case report, we present the clinical course and computed tomography findings in a 28 years old woman with preeclampsia associated with reversible cortical blindness.

Özet

Preeklampsi sürecinde nörolojik semptomların gelişmesi beklenen bir durumdur. Preeklampsiye bağlı kortikal görme kaybı ise hastalığın nadir komplikasyonlarındandır. Kortikal görme kaybının patogenezinde temel olarak vazojenik ödemin etkili olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Hastalık preeklampsi tedavisi yanında antiödem tedaviye hızla cevap verir ve semptomlar genellikle tamamen düzelir. Bu vaka sunumunda 28 yaşında, ağır preeklampsiye bağlı reversibl kortikal görme kaybı olan bir hastanın klinik seyrini ve kranyal bilgisayarlı tomografi bulgularını sunduk.
