Objective Formerly eclamptic women demonstrate cerebral white matter lesions (WMLs) several years following the index pregnancy. The pathophysiology is unclear and may be related to the predisposition for cerebrovascular/cardiovascular disease in such women and/or the occurrence of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome whilst pregnant. The aim of this study was to assess the presence and severity of WMLs and their relationship with the severity of the neurological symptoms during the index pregnancy and several current cardiovascular risk factors in formerly pre-eclamptic women. Design This was a retrospective cohort study. Setting The Neuroimaging Centre at the School for Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences, Groningen, the Netherlands. Population Seventy-three formerly pre-eclamptic women were matched for age (37 +/- 6 years) and elapsed time since index pregnancy (5.1 +/- 3.7 years) with parous control women. Methods Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging scans were performed on cases and controls. Scans were rated by a neuroradiologist blind to the patient category. Main outcome measures The presence and severity of cerebral WMLs. Results Formerly pre-eclamptic women had WMLs significantly more often (37%) and more severely (mean, 0.11; median, 0.00; range, 02.34 ml) than controls (21%, P = 0.04; mean, 0.015; median, 0.00; range, 00.13 ml; P = 0.02).
