POSTPARTUM CEREBRAL ANGIOPATHY WITH INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE IN A PATIENT RECEIVING LISURIDE

Postpartum cerebral angiopathy is a recognized but infrequent complica tion of ergot alkaloid derivatives. We describe a patient who experien ced reversible cerebral vasoconstriction with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after ingesting Lisuride in the postpartum period. Lisuride is likely to cause postpartum cerebral angiopathy, and ICH must now be co nsidered a possible cerebrovascular complication of postpartum cerebra l angiopathy. Our observation calls for further study to verify these findings.
