Description
Rodriguez and co-authors report a brain vessel crisis around twin birth. The mother was 35 and had severe preeclampsia in a twin pregnancy. Birth came by cesarean at 30 weeks. On day five she had thunderclap headache and seizures. Brain vessels had clamped in a reversible spasm syndrome.
Bleeding, stroke, and high brain pressure followed the spasm. Care used brain oxygen and pressure monitors plus repeat angiograms. Milrinone was infused straight into the clamped arteries. A neck nerve block served as a last rescue step. She weaned off the ventilator and left hospital with good function.
