[Cerebrovascular complications in obstetrics and beta mimetic drugs].

The authors report a new case of a cerebro-vascular accident following the stopping of an infusion of a beta-mimetic drug to inhibit uterine contractions. The clinical symptomatology and the spontaneous recovery (over more than 6 months) makes it correct to call this pathological condition "an acute cerebral vascular disorder of a benign nature". It is not known how the cerebral vessels were affected by the beta-mimetic drugs.
