Abstract
Changes in hemolysis and thepre‐thrombotic state in late pregnancy and the postpartum period, frequent vomiting, HELLP syndrome (characterised by hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and thrombocytopenia) and gestational hypertension are risk factors for stroke during pregnancy and the puerperal period. Myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease, stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, hypertensive illness, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, rheumatic heart disease and peripheral arterial disease are just a few of the type‐specific CVDs that we looked at further. Amongst 65 patients, 41 patients had normal MRI/CT findings. Nineteen patients reported with MRI/CT findings such as Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome, Multiple Embolic Infarcts With Haemorrhagic Transformation, Intracerebral Hemmorhage, Infarct In Occipital Lobe, Subarachnoid Haemorrhage, Infarct in Basal Ganglia, Intracranial Haemorrhage with Interventricular Haemorrhage, Basal Ganglia Calcification, Acute Infarct With Haemorrhagic Transformation In Right Frontoparietal Lobe and Insula and Cerebral Vein Thrombosis. The maximum numbers of MRI/CT findings were seen in grade III hypertension. It’s critical to treat anaemia and prevent dehydration during the peripartum period in a nation like ours. When a patient presents with seizures during pregnancy or puberty or loses consciousness, there should be increased awareness and widespread use of CT/MRI.
