Majority of severely pre-eclamptic parturients had high ONSD value suggestive of raised intracranial pressures, which persisted in the postpartum period and was unaffected by magnesium sulfate therapy. Ultrasound can thus serve as a point-of-care, cost-effective, easily available bedside tool for indirectly measuring intracranial pressures in this high-risk population.
