ABSTRACT
Stroke in pregnancy is rare and has a wide range of etiologies and implications on stroke management that differ from nonpregnant individuals. The highest risk of stroke is during the third trimester and puerperium period, where hypertensive disorders of pregnancy occur; however, stroke can occur at any point during pregnancy. In this chapter, we will provide an overview of the epidemiology of stroke in pregnancy and then review the specific etiologies of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke as they relate to pregnant women. Finally, we discuss the process of acute stroke evaluation in pregnancy and the management of women after stroke with regard to long-term risk factors, medications, and implications in future pregnancies. Throughout the chapter, we highlight relevant guidelines from the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association and key literature on stroke in pregnancy.
