Acute and diffuse microvascular damage characterizes malignant hypertension (MHT), the deadliest form of hypertension (HTN). Although its ophthalmological, renal and cardiological repercussions are well known, brain involvement is considered rare with few descriptions, although it is one of the main causes of death. We hypothesized that brain MRI abnormalities are common in MHT, even in patients without objective neurological signs.

神经系统无症状患者在恶性高血压期间经常出现脑损伤：一项 MRI 研究。

急性和弥漫性微血管损伤是恶性高血压 (MHT) 的特征，这是最致命的高血压 (HTN) 形式。虽然它的眼科、肾脏和心脏病学影响是众所周知的，但大脑受累被认为是罕见的，很少有描述，尽管它是死亡的主要原因之一。我们假设脑部 MRI 异常在 MHT 中很常见，即使在没有客观神经系统体征的患者中也是如此。
