Abstract
Pregnancy and puerperium are major risk factors for stroke in young women, which is a cause of significant mortality (7.7‐15%) [1] and morbidity. Around 50% of women are left with neurological impairment [1] which leads to persistent disability. Pregnancy by itself is a risk factor for thrombotic events due to various physiological and pathological alterations. The lack of guidelines and RCTs leads to lack of insight on various treatment options. Hence future prospective studies are required to fill in knowledge gaps to guide appropriate treatment strategies and for aggressive risk factor modification strategies. Here we present 2 pregnant women in third trimester who came with acute ischemic stroke to a tertiary care ED in India, who were thrombolysed and had successful neurological outcomes and no obstetric complications.
