Accidental ultrasound detection of Galen vein aneurysm at term pregnancy
Introduction: Galen vein aneurysm is the most common congenital arteriovenous (AV) malformation. It consists of an arteriovenous shunt dilating vascular bed. Brain structures of the posterior cranial fossa are often compressed by this dilatation. The most often manifestations are ischemic changes of neonatal brain as a stroke, steal phenomenon, hydrocephalus or heart failure.

Diagnostic of rare form of acute stroke (venous stroke) in early postpartum period
Introduction: Venous stroke (VS) is a rare form of acute ischemic stroke as a thrombosis of Trolard vein (the frequency 0.1% to 3 –5%) occurs when the outflow of blood from the superficial cortical veins of the brain along the large anastomotic vein of Trolard and the small anastomotic vein of Labbe in turn, flow into the large vein of Gallen, which collects blood from the deep cerebral veins and falls into a straight sinus. Verification of VS is difficult due to the following features: the defeat of the parieto-occipital region gives meagre focal neurologic symptoms and more pronounced cerebral symptoms.

Congenital thrombocytopenia, intractable menorrhagia at menarche and Ischemic stroke
We present a rare case of severe intractable menorrhagia occurring with the first period in a 12-year-old girl who has a positive family history of bleeding disorder. She presented with a series of challenges in terms of diagnosis, management, and therapy.

Changes in adiposity and other factors in relation to age at natural menopause: analyses from the coronary artery risk development (CARDIA) study
Conclusion: These findings show that age at natural menopause is partly determined by modifiable factors such as premenopausal hypertension and baseline adiposity. These results highlight the importance of both control and prevention of cardiovascular risk factors such as excess weight in early to mid-adulthood before menopause onset.

Hormone therapy in postmenopausal women associated with risk of stroke and venous thromboembolism: a population-based cohort study in Taiwan
Conclusions: In postmenopausal Taiwanese women, HT may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Although the women in our population receiving HT were near menopausal age, their risk of cardiovascular disease was still higher than in the non-HT group.

ACOG Committee Opinion No. 767 Summary: Emergent Therapy for Acute-Onset, Severe Hypertension During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period.
Authors: Abstract Acute-onset, severe systolic hypertension; severe diastolic hypertension; or both can occur during the prenatal, intrapartum, or postpartum periods. Pregnant women or women in the postpartum period with acute-onset, severe systolic hypertension; severe diastolic hypertension; or both require urgent antihypertensive therapy. Introducing standardized, evidence-based clinical guidelines for the management of patients with preeclampsia and eclampsia has been demonstrated to reduce the incidence of adverse maternal outcomes. Individuals and institutions should have mechanisms in place to initiate the...

Cerebral pontine infarctions during pregnancy – A case report and review of the literature
Publication date: Available online 23 January 2019Source: Case Reports in Women's HealthAuthor(s): Jenna Kaye Wildman, Bassam H. RimawiAbstractCerebrovascular disease is not uncommon during pregnancy as a result of either venous or arterial occlusion, or a hemorrhagic event, resulting in ischemia. Pregnancy may alter the prognosis of these neurologic disorders, with increased risks of morbidity and mortality for the mother and the developing fetus. Etiologies of stroke during pregnancy and the postpartum period include preeclampsia, eclampsia, HELLP syndrome, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), amniotic fl...

Maternal cardiac function, uterine artery hemodynamics and natriuretic peptides at 22 ‐24 weeks of gestation and subsequent development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
ConclusionsProANP correlated with cardiac output and cardiac work, Nt ‐proBNP with indices of cardiac contractility, and CNP with UtA blood flow and resistance. None of these natriuretic peptides measured at 22‐24 weeks of gestation reflected cardiac preload reserve or predicted development of HDP.

Gender and thrombolysis therapy in stroke patients with incidence of dyslipidemia
When untreated, dyslipidemia is a higher risk factor for stroke and stroke-related mortality in men than in women. However, when dyslipidemia is treated the risk reduction is the same, but men benefited from m...

38: Hyperoxygenation in pregnancy exerts a more profound effect on hemodynamics than in a non-pregnant state
The hemodynamic effects of oxygen therapy are under recognized and the impact of hyperoxygenation (HO) on maternal hemodynamics is currently unknown. Using transthoracic bioreactance (NICOM), we sought to examine the effect of brief hyperoxygenation on cardiac index (CI), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), blood pressure (BP), stroke volume (SV) and heart rate (HR) in pregnant mothers during the third trimester as compared to those observed in a non-pregnant population subjected to the same period of hyperoxygenation.

841: Stroke in pregnancy
In the US, stroke associated with pregnancy occurs in about 35 per 100,000 births. Prior studies have focused on national registries or medico-legal case series. Our objectives were to 1) describe type, antecedent events, and outcomes with strokes and 2) compare women with hypertensive disorders versus those without, as well as those with stroke in antepartum versus postpartum periods.
