Gynecol Obstet Invest. 1998 Aug;46(2):139-41. doi: 10.1159/000010018.

Abstract

Hyperemesis gravidarum is associated with nausea and vomiting during the 1st trimester of pregnancy. We report 2 cases of hyperemesis gravidarum associated with vasospasms of cerebral arteries recognized by magnetic resonance imaging angiography. The hyperemetic condition of the patients improved after fluid and electrolyte replacement therapy.
