Abstract:
Pregnancy and the puerperium are associated with an increased risk of stroke, and stroke is considered an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality during this time. Pregnancy and delivery can lead to substantial alterations in systemic arterial and venous hemodynamics that may predispose to cerebrovascular disorders. We present one case of cerebral hemorrhage in puerperium after a normal pregnancy without any manifestation of preeclampsia or eclampsia and the other case with recurred cerebral hemorrhage in 16 gestational weeks pregnancy with previous cerebral hemorrhage history.
