An unusual case of postpartum stroke.
Intracranial hemorrhage is a rare peripartum complication. We report a 28-year-old woman, 24 h postpartum, with acute onset of aphasia, right lower facial paresis, and spastic right hemiplegia secondary to hemorrhage into a previously undiagnosed large left parasagittal meningioma. Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention led to an excellent outcome. Intrameningiomal hemorrhage as a treatable cause of peripartum stroke is discussed.
