OBJECTIVE
Earlier cases of stroke due to postpartum cerebral angiopathy have been reported. The mechanism of this angiopathy has not been explained.
METHODS
We present a case of cerebral infarction with evidence of occlusive change in the vertebrobasilar system as a complication of intravenous ergonovine use after cesarean section delivery.
CONCLUSIONS
Ergonovine therapy is a likely cause of so-called postpartum cerebral angiopathy and stroke.
