A Case Report of Maternal Cerebral Hemorrhage in Preterm Pregnancy

Intracerebral hemorrhage is a rare event during pregnancy that can result in serious morbidity and mortality for the mother and infant. In this article, we describe a case involving a multiparous woman at 34 weeks gestation who presented with a 5-cm intracerebral bleed. Within 2 hours of presenting, she underwent an emergency cesarean and craniotomy to remove the hematoma. The woman's altered mental status fully abated, and she was discharged with minimal neurologic deficits. The newborn was born healthy.
