摘要
A case of isolated angiitis of the central nervous system (IACNS) in puerperium with a clinical presentation of bilateral frontal lobe hemorrhage is described. Her symptoms and arteriographic abnormalities were resolved by institution of corticosteroid. After cessation of steroid treatment she showed no evidence of relapse. This case indicates that there appears to be a benign form of IACNS, although the etiology of postpartum IACNS is not known. The postpartum cerebral angiopathy described in the literature may be an identical disorder, since there are no clinical points of specific distinction between them.
