Neuroimaging Features and Predictors of Outcome in Eclamptic Encephalopathy: A Prospective Observational Study
AJNR 35:1728-1734, Junewar, V.,et al, 2014
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Neuroimaging in eclampsia demonstrates a higher incidence of atypical distributions and cytotoxic edema than previously thought. Altered sensorium; visual disturbances; status epilepticus; and elevated serum uric acid, lactate dehydrogenase, and creatinine are associated with abnormal neuroimaging findings. Higher serum creatinine, uric acid, and lactate dehydrogenase levels and moderate and severe forms of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome are possible predictors of poor outcome.
