Letter re: Long-term cerebral white and gray matter changes after preeclampsia

The article by Siepmann et al.1 identified long-term cerebral white matter changes and reduced cortical volume, presumably of vascular origin, in young women after pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia. The authors invoked persistent inflammation as the putative agent. Sleep apnea may be a link among pregnancy, preeclampsia, and cerebrovascular disease.
