J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med. 2004 Oct;16(4):245-6. doi: 10.1080/14767050400014469.

Abstract

Cerebrovascular diseases are rare in pregnancy and mostly caused by rupture of an arterial aneurysm. We present the case of a pregnant woman at 36 weeks of gestation who had a subarachnoid hemorrhage resulting from rupture of an unknown aneurysm, and who underwent a Cesarean section and an endovascular treatment to embolize the aneurysm.
