Abstract:SYNOPSIS Two patients are described who developed subarachnoid haemorrhage during pregnancy and the puerperium. In both patients there was clinical, haematological, histological, and renal angiographic evidence of the intravascular coagulation syndrome. No source of intracranial bleeding was demonstrated by bilateral carotid angiography in either patient. We suggest that the subarachnoid haemorrhage was a result of the intravascular coagulation syndrome in both patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
