TORRES ZAFRA, Javier Francisco. Hypertensive neurological emergencies Diagnostic approach and treatment based on magnetic resonance imaging. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.2, pp.100-109. ISSN 0120-8748.  https://doi.org/10.22379/24224022285.

The diagnosis and treatment of brain injury in patients with hypertensive emergencies is a challenge for the emergency department and intensive care doctors. The diagnosis of hypertensive encephalopathy, ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is achieved with different MRI sequences as well as their appropriate treatment according to the last AHA/ASA clinical practice guidelines.

Keywords : aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage; hemorrhagic stroke; hypertensive emergency; magnetic resonance imaging; posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome; stroke (MeSH).
