Intracerebral haemorrhage during a caesarean section: a report of a rare case

Abstract

We report a rare case of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in a pregnant patient intraoperatively during caesarean section, without a history of hypertension antenatally or an identifiable aetiology on subsequent evaluation. This case underscores the importance of considering atypical causes of stroke in pregnancy and highlights possible predisposing factors for haemorrhagic events in patients without a history of pregnancy-induced hypertension or preeclampsia. We also discuss management of stroke in pregnancy for optimal outcome with a multidisciplinary approach.
