ABSTRACT
Objective: To report our experience in cerebral hemorrhage in preeclampsia- eclampsia.
Design: Case series report.
Setting: ICU of an obstetrical and gynecological hospital, Toluca, Mexico State. Mexico.
Patients: Nine patients with preeclampsia-eclampsia and cerebral hemorrhage admitted to the ICU during one year (January-December, 2003).
Interventions: None.
Measurements and main results: During the period study were admitted to the ICU a total of 299 patient, 289 (96%) with preeclampsia-eclampsia. Of these, nine developed cerebral hemorrhage, eight HELLP syndrome, six brain edema, four renal failure and six died (67%).
Conclusion: Preeclampsia-eclampsia may be complicated with cerebral hemorrhage and it is associated to high mortality rate.
