[Acute cerebral ischemia: an uncommon complication of ritodrine?].
Cerebral ischaemia is reported in a 33 year-old woman at 34 weeks gestation during an infusion of ritodrine to stop premature labour. CT Scan revealed multiple ischemic bilateral lesions. These lesions disappeared completely under artificial ventilation and thiopental infusion. The authors discuss the other possible causes of cerebral ischaemia in pregnant patients.
