Abstract
Cortical blindness is an unusual feature of the toxemia of pregnancy syndrome. We present the CT and magnetic resonance (MR) findings in two women who developed postpartum blindness as a manifestation of this condition. Though both CT and MR display reversible edematous changes in the occipital lobes, follow-up MR documents areas of hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic infarction where the corresponding CT images are normal.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
