Despite the rare occurrence of ischemic stroke in pregnancy and puerperium, the incidence of this disease is rising with the increasing prevalence of obesity, hypertension and cardiac disease among women of childbearing age (James et al., 2005). Ischemic stroke in pregnant women has specific etiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. The purpose of this article is to address these aspects of ischemic stroke in pregnant women in greater detail, so that patient care for mother and fetus are approached safely and effectively at the same time.

Keywords: ischemic stroke, pregnancy, intravenous thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy and secondary prevention.
