The Correlation Between Preeclampsia and Intracranial Hemorrhage: A Review of Current Literature
Viola Salsabila Faradisa
Abstract
Objective: This literature review aims to elucidate the relationship between preeclampsia and the occurrence of intracranial hemorrhage during pregnancy, highlighting the epidemiology, pathophysiological mechanisms, and risk factors. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using peer-reviewed articles, clinical studies, and guidelines related to preeclampsia patients with intracranial hemorrhage. Results: Pregnancy is a condition that can lead to alterations in the haemostatic system. The range of cerebral autoregulation may potentially vary during pregnancy, the elevated blood pressure associated with preeclampsia can lead to rupture of vessels at a lower pressure than in the non-pregnant women. In addition, high blood pressure consistently causes damage to the walls of blood vessels, resulting in its rupture and bleeding. Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) may be a significant predictor of pregnancy-related intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Hypertension is the primary risk factor for Intraparenchymal Hemorrhage. Conclusion: The evidence indicates a significant relationship between preeclampsia and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), underscoring critical implications for maternal and fetal health. Future research could explore how age, BMI, parity, and the severity of hypertension, alongside socioeconomic factors, access to healthcare, and adherence to antenatal care, impact negative outcomes for mothers and children. , ultimately enhancing clinical outcomes for affected patients.
