BACKGROUND: Lactation-induced @entity1939 is a rare but devastating puerperal complication. There are few reported cases and no consistent associated disease processes historically identified. This case illustrates lactation-associated @entity7995 as an early identifier of @entity15 . CASE: A nulliparous @entity1 underwent a term vaginal delivery complicated only by @entity5870 . She was treated with intravenous antibiotics, which included spontaneous @entity3555 . Her postpartum course was uncomplicated, and she was discharged on postpartum day 2 with her @entity1 . She was readmitted on postpartum day 16 completely blind. Evaluation revealed @entity1781 . Symptoms were initiated and exacerbated during nursing. Transitory waxing and waning of her @entity227 were noted after aggressive @entity134 therapy and discontinuing nursing. The @entity1 was subsequently diagnosed with @entity15 of relapsing-remitting type. CONCLUSION: @entity15 must be considered as an etiology for acute puerperal lactation-associated @entity1939 when there is no clear anatomic or infectious cause.

@entity7995 with transient total XXXX during lactation(1).
