Brain computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography were performed in five eclamptic patients. Three of them had HELLP syndrome. The findings on the imaging studies showed bilateral lesions affecting regions of the brain, such as cortico-subcortical either posterior and anterior circulation territories, white matter, talamic or mesencephalic-protuberancial areas. No vasoespasm in middle size arteries were observed with magnetic resonance angiography. Although visual disturbance and occipital lobe involvement were correlated, no others mentioned lesions had clinical manifestations.

Palabras clave : Eclampsia; Magnetic resonance; Seizures; HELLP syndrome.
