[Abstract] Objective: To diagnosis and differential diagnosis in the patients with hypertensive encephalopathy.Materials and Methods: The clinical data including MRI of 38 patients with hypertensive encephalopathy were analyzed retrospectively.Results: There were positive findings in 38 patients on MRI. The positive findings mainly included brain edema and focal cerebral hemorrhage. The systolic blood pressure ranged from 180 to 230 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure from 120 to 150 mm Hg in the patients. There were the clinical manifestations of high intracranial pressure in all the patients.Conclusions: The main manifestation of imaging is cerebral edema, and the diagnosis and differential diagnosis may be made by imagings combined with clinical manifestations in the patients with hypertensive encephalopathy.
