Abstract

Abstract:

Cerebrovascular disease is one of the most common neurological complications during pregnancy. Pregnancy-related hemodynamic changes, hypercoagulable state and other factors could increase the risk of cerebrovascular disease. Pregnancy-related cerebrovascular diseases often lead to poor prognosis and high mortality, and could affect the health of the fetus/fetuses. Therefore, early recognition and treatment is necessary. In this review, we discusses the epidemiology, pathophysiological changes, clinical manifestations, treatment, and prognosis of ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome during pregnancy and postpartum period. An increased focus on the prevention, recognition, and optimal treatment of maternal stroke will be critical to reduce the morbidity and mortality of pregnancy-related cerebrovascular diseases.

Key words: Pregnancy, Postpartum, Ischemic strokes, Hemorrhagic strokes
