MRI Findings in Hypertensive Encephalopathy Pediatric Hypertensive Emergencies Hypertensive Encephalopathy Usually cerebral autoregulation maintains MAP in brain of 60-100 mmHg If BP exceeds critical level (180 mmHg in adults), vessels dilate leading to excessive blood flow with resultant cerebral edema Critical level may be higher in patients with chronic HTN Other organ systems Less well-studied, but presumably similar changes occur as are seen in the brain Pathophysiology Autoregulation of Cerebral Bloodflow 1 Pediatric Hypertensive Emergencies History of prior HTN, renal or cardiac disease Physical exam Fundoscopic: presence of retinal hemorrhages, other signs of retinopathy Cardiac: presence of congestive heart failure, new murmur, 4-extremity BP’s Neurologic: level of consciousness General: edema, pallor Laboratory evaluation Serum chemistries, CBC, urinalysis Chest x-ray, echocardiogram, renal ultrasound Assessment Pediatric Hypertensive Emer
