We present a case of subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a ruptured cerebral aneurysm of the right internal carotid artery in a patient at 34 weeks of gestation (G2P1). A combined surgical procedure (cesarean section followed by clipping of the aneurysm) was performed with good maternal and fetal outcome. The differential diagnosis, the timing of neurosurgery, and the anesthetic techniques used are discussed.
