title: Idiopathic cerebral hemorrhage during delivery in normotensive women--case reports.
abstract: Two normotensive pregnant women who developed cerebral hemorrhage during delivery are reported. The hematoma was small and subcortical in one and large and putaminal in the other. They had no history of hypertension, cerebrovascular disorders, or eclampsia. Cerebral angiography studied in one case revealed no abnormalities. Idiopathic cerebral hemorrhage during delivery without any evidence of vascular risk factors is discussed.
