Stroke during pregnancy and postpartum

Abstract

Stroke during pregnancy and postpartum, though uncommon, can significantly affect the lives of women and their families. However, the current research on the subsequent pregnancy and health status of women, with a history of pregnancy ⁃ related stroke, is limited. To provide reference for the prevention and treatment of stroke during pregnancy and postpartum, this article reviews the epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiological mechanism, and treatment of pregnancy⁃related stroke.
