Abstract
Preeclampsia / eclampsia is a potentially serious disease associated with maternal complications, including neurological. In patients with increased intracranial pressure, the diameter of the optic nerve sheath increases because of its close association with the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Her measurements using ultrasound transorbital have shown correlation with increased intracranial pressure. 20% of patients with preeclampsia, the diameter of the optic nerve sheath consistent reaches intracranial pressure values above 20 mmHg.To compare the diameter of the optic nerve sheath transorbital measured by ultrasound between healthy women, pregnant women and pregnant women with preeclampsia / eclampsia.
