A rare cause of non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in the postpartum period: Postpartum cerebral angiopathy

Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 53, Issue 2

Abstract

Cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome is characterized by the multifocal vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries. Postpartum cerebral angiopathy is a cerebrovascular disease which is seen within 1-4 weeks after parturition. Cerebral hemorrhage and infarctus are seen more commonly as a complication. We report on a patient who had a non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage as a complication of PCA.
