Figure 3. Long term cerebral small vessel disease after preeclampsia.

Figure 3.

Legend: A 47-year-old woman with diabetes, hypertension, active tobacco use and history of preterm preeclampsia presented with left sided weakness and cognitive complaints. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain with and without contrast showed an acute lacunar infarct in the right internal capsule on diffusion weighted images (A), patchy subcortical white matter hyperintensities on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences (B, C), and no contrast enhancement (D). Additional studies including lumbar puncture showed no evidence of demyelinating disease or other inflammatory etiology. She was diagnosed with ischemic stroke and white matter changes due to cerebral small vessel disease.
