BACKGROUND: There is an increased risk of @entity64 during pregnancy and the puerperium. This risk is greatest in the post-partum period. Embolic sources secondary to @entity299 and cerebral arterial dissection are recognized as potential etiologies. CASE: A 32-year-old @entity1 presented with left-sided weakness eight days post-partum. Imaging studies identified @entity1188 in the territory of the right middle cerebral artery. Cardiac investigations revealed @entity583 secondary to dissection of the left main coronary artery. The @entity1 underwent coronary artery bypass grafting with significant recovery of cardiac function. At two years post-presentation, her @entity51 have resolved. DISCUSSION: @entity583 secondary to @entity453 has been long-recognized. Cerebral arterial dissection in association with pregnancy is also well-documented. This is a rare case of a @entity1 presenting with @entity64 secondary to @entity583 secondary to @entity453 .
