Abstract
ABSTRACT Stroke continues to be one of the main causes of death in developed countries and the incidence in pregnancy appears to be increasing. Our case describes a 34-year-old woman presenting in her third trimester with a sudden onset of slurred speech, right hemiparesis, facial nerve central palsy, psychomotor agitation and pain in the right lower limb related to ischaemic stroke in the left middle cerebral artery. The aim of our case report is to know the current recommendations for the investigation and management of acute stroke and how they apply to pregnancy, to understand the secondary prevention of stroke and the safety of these strategies in pregnancy and to recognise the importance of multidisciplinary input in the management of pregnancy and delivery in women with stroke.
