Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Neurology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Intracranial bleeding during pregnancy presents significant management challenges.
  • Maintaining maternal vital functions is crucial for potential fetal survival.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old primigravida suffered fatal intracranial hemorrhage at 15 weeks gestation.
  • Maternal vital functions were artificially sustained for 49 days.

Findings:

  • Despite intensive support, the pregnancy could not be prolonged to a viable gestational age.
  • Analysis focused on the complexities of maternal physiological maintenance and fetal growth under these critical conditions.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the ethical and clinical dilemmas in managing catastrophic maternal illness during pregnancy.
