Abstract:We present a case of postpartum ischemic stroke due to hypertension of pregnancy complicated by uterine rupture. Thanks to the clinical elements, in particular postpartum seizures, disturbances of consciousness and an immediate CT scan confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was resuscitated and transferred to neurology with hemiparesis as a sequel. We hope that the treatment of these patients can be improved thanks to our experience in this case management.
