Abstract:
Postpartum cerebral angiopathy is a main cause of postpartum stroke. We describe a 27-year-old woman with postpartum cerebral angiopathy after taking bromocriptine. Her brain FLAIR MR image revealed several lesions of sulcal hyperintensity. The sulcal hyperintensity in the MR image may be a sequelae of bromocriptine-induced angiopathy during the postpartum period.
