To determine any differences in cerebral perfusion pressure in patients with chronic hypertension compared with those with chronic hypertension and superimposed pre-eclampsia. ⋯ Superimposed pre-eclampsia is associated with significantly higher cerebral perfusion pressure measurements compared with women with uncomplicated chronic hypertension. This is not directly related to a higher blood pressure. The difference in cerebral perfusion pressure may be used to speculate upon the pathophysiology of the increased risk for eclampsia seen in patients with superimposed pre-eclampsia.
