title: Successful perinatal outcome following recurrent idiopathic cerebrovascular strokes in pregnancy: a case report.
abstract: A 25-year-old gravida 2 had two right cerebral hemispheric infarcts documented on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scan at 23 and 31 weeks of pregnancy. Investigations failed to reveal any cause. She was empirically treated with heparin, aspirin and nimodipine and had a successful perinatal outcome.
