In this review I shall discuss the prognostic value of the clinical neurological examination, the EEG (and the various methods of recording it), evoked responses, and Doppler ultrasound measurements of cerebral blood velocity. Imaging modalities (ultrasound, CT, MRI) will be dealt with elsewhere under discussion of their diagnostic value.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy described as a condition of excessive sympathoexcitation. PE places a woman at increased risk for lifelong hypertension and cognitive impairment. Cerebral blood velocity is blunted in response to a vasoactive stimulus in women with a history of PE. This study investigated how a sympathoexcitatory stimulus affects cerebral blood velocity in women with a history of PE. Middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv) and beat-to-beat mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were measured in postmenopausal women with a history of PE ( n = 21; age = 59 ± 5 yr) and a history of a normotensive pregnancy (NP; n = 27; age = 58 ± 4 yr), at baseline, during isometric handgrip to fatigue (IHG) followed by postexercise ischemia (PEI), and a recovery period (REC). Baseline MAP and MAP responses to IHG and PEI did not differ between groups. MCAv at baseline and throughout the stimulus was lower in PE women compared with NP women ( P < 0.05 for all). MCAv increased during IHG in both groups ( P < 0.05). This increase in MCAv was greater in PE compared with NP women during IHG and REC (IHG: PE 13 ± 2% vs. NP 9 ± 2%; REC: PE 3 ± 2% vs. NP −2 ± 2%; P < 0.05 for both). Thus, a history of PE is associated with low baseline cerebral blood velocity but an augmented response to a sympathoexcitatory stimulus. These changes in cerebral blood flow regulation may lead to an increased risk for cognitive impairment in women with a history of PE.

Pneumothorax has been associated with intraventricular hemorrhage in premature infants, although the mechanism for this relationship is not clear. Because alterations in cerebral blood flow are believed to be important in the pathogenesis of intraventricular hemorrhage, the effect of induced pneumothorax and subsequent evacuation on the cerebral circulation in 16 newborn dogs was evaluated. Continuous Doppler ultrasound was used to monitor changes in cerebral blood velocity. Pneumothorax was induced by slow infusion (5 cc/kg/min) or rapid infusion (5 to 10 seconds) of air to reduce mean arterial blood pressure to half of base-line levels. Both methods of pneumothorax induction resulted in significant elevations of central venous pressure and intrapleural pressure, whereas mean arterial blood pressure and cerebral blood velocity decreased significantly. In each group, the pneumothorax was evacuated either by slow withdrawal of air (10 cc/kg/min) or as rapidly as possible. Rapid evacuation of air resulted in an immediate increase in mean arterial blood pressure and cerebral blood velocity to supranormal levels. Slow evacuation led to a more gradual normalization of mean arterial blood pressure and cerebral blood velocity. It is suggested that the precipitous increases in mean arterial blood pressure and cerebral blood velocity following rapid evacuation of a tension pneumothorax may account for the observed association between pneumothorax and intraventricular hemorrhage in premature infants.
