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.

Hemorrhagic Stroke l: Introduction

A hemorrhagic stroke is an acute neurological event that occurs when a weakened cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to accumulate within or around the brain. The sudden release of blood forms a focal hematoma that increases intracranial pressure, displaces neural tissue, and can obstruct cerebrospinal fluid pathways. These effects may be compounded by intraventricular extension of the hemorrhage, cerebral edema, or compression of adjacent structures, all of which contribute to...

Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology

A hemorrhagic stroke develops when a cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to escape into the surrounding brain tissue, as in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or into the subarachnoid space, as in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Because the skull is a rigid compartment, the sudden presence of extravascular blood rapidly increases intracranial pressure and compresses adjacent neural structures, leading to immediate tissue injury and impaired cerebral perfusion.Mass Effect and Primary...
