Unlike routine MRI,diffusion-weighted imaging reliably differentiates between vasogenic edema and cytotoxic edema.Consequently,in eclamptic patients diffusion-weighted imaging can afford clear differentiation between hypertensive ischemic encephalopathy and infarction,two very different entities with very different treatment protocols.Diffusion- weighted imaging should be performed in all eclamptic patients and should greatly affect their management. |
