The diverse causes of these strokes warrants a thorough investigation including angiography if needed to secure a diagnosis in order to give the patient the best advice and treatment. The section on arterial stroke reviews the differential diagnosis and highlights how pregnancy influences some conditions causing stroke. The section on cerebral venous thrombosis reviews the clinical scenarios of this unusual condition, the evolving techniques for its diagnosis, and its treatment with anticoagulants.
