Physiologic Changes Of Pregnancy

Neurologic conditions commonly affect women during pregnancy. The severity of some chronic conditions, such as headaches, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis, may be affected by pregnancy. Due to teratogenicity, some medications used prior to pregnancy should be avoided or used at a lower dose during pregnancy. The physiologic changes of pregnancy put women at risk for new neurologic conditions, including posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, venous sinus thrombosis, and restless legs syndrome. Compression neuropathies may arise during pregnancy or delivery. Increased experience with neuroimaging has provided reassurance that magnetic resonance imaging may be used safely during pregnancy. This review contains 7 figures, 7 tables, and 30 references Key Words: epilepsy, headache, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, neurology, neuropathy, pregnancy, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, stroke, venous sinus thrombosis

Reversible Encephalopathy

Background: Pregnancy and puerperium are states of hypercoagulability. This predisposes women in these phases to increased risk of cerebrovascular diseases. These neurological complications are important causes of maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. These must be recognized and managed to decrease their burden on maternal and child health.Methods: The aim of this study was to consider the occurrence of neurological complications in pregnancy and puerperium and to analyse the clinical and radiological spectrum of them. This was a prospective study carried out with 1200 patients from January 2014 to August 2015.Results: Of the 1200 women, 87(7.25%) were diagnosed to have neurological complications. Overall mortality was 11.4%. Eclampsia (63.2%), Cerebral Venous sinus Thrombosis (CVT) (18.3%) and Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) in (8%) accounted for the majority of cases (Table 1). Eclampsia carried a significant mortality rate of 12.7% whereas CVT and PRES had favourable outcomes. Imaging of CVT revealed involvement of deep venous system in 12% and haemorrhagic infarcts in 69%.Conclusions: The commonest neurological complications seen in this cohort were eclampsia, cerebral venous thrombosis and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Hence a physician needs to bear in mind the common neurological complications that can occur during pregnancy and puerperium to avert poor pregnancy outcomes for both mother and child.

Reversible Encephalopathy

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical syndrome of headache, altered mental status, and seizures with reversible mainly posterior leukoencephalopathy on neuroimaging. Precipitating factors for PRES are multifactorial and include autoregulatory failure due to changes in blood pressure, metabolic derangements, and cytotoxic medications. We report the second case of cyclophosphamide-induced PRES in a patient with anti-glomerular basement membrane (Anti-GBM) positive vasculitis. In the acute setting, PRES can be challenging to distinguish from cerebral venous sinus thrombosis or cerebral vasculitis based on clinical presentation. Neuroimaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain along with a vessel imaging, can help reach the diagnosis.
