Cerebral Hemodynamics in Preeclampsia and Eclampsia Neurol 53:1226-1231, Qureshi,A.I.,et al, 1996 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Eclamptic patients(n=3)had significantly higher mean flow velocities and lower average pulsatility indexes than did normotensive patients(n=4) (average MCA-mean flow velocity,165 vs 79 cm/s[P=.007];average MCA pulsatility index,0.51 vs 1.1[P,.001].Compared with normotensive pregnant women,preeclamptic patients(n=4)had lower average pulsatility indexes(0. 76,P=.003),but similar mean flow velocities(average MCA-mean flow velocity,82 cm/s;P=.8).Significantly higher MCA velocities in eclamptic, but not preeclamptic,women are compared with those in normotensive pregnant women suggests that moderate to severe vasospasm is associated with eclampsia.
