Ischemic Stroke in Pregnancy and Postpartum: A Descriptive Case Series (P1.079)

CONCLUSIONS: In our series of 19 pregnancy-associated ischemic strokes, mechanisms appeared unrelated to traditional vascular risk factors, and there was a substantial proportion of poor outcomes. Strokes were commonest in the 12 weeks postpartum, almost one third of which occurred following a miscarriage. Further exploration with a larger cohort is planned.Disclosure: Dr. Miller has nothing to disclose. Dr. Yaghi has nothing to disclose. Dr. Boehme has nothing to disclose.
