A 25-Year-Old Pregnant Woman With Worsening Headaches

Fundoscopic examination reveals normal optic discs and posterior segments. Cranial nerve, motor, reflex, sensory, and coordination examination findings are all normal.

An MRI done prior to her becoming pregnant shows small subcortical white matter T2 hyperintensities (Figure 1).
