# Intracerebral Haemorrhage During a Caesarean Section: A Report of a Rare Case

## TL;DR

A rare case of brain bleeding during a caesarean section in a pregnant woman with no prior hypertension is reported.

## Contribution

Highlights a rare ICH case in pregnancy without typical risk factors, emphasizing atypical stroke causes.

## Key findings

- ICH occurred intraoperatively during caesarean section in a patient with no antenatal hypertension.
- No identifiable cause was found despite subsequent evaluation.
- Stress importance of multidisciplinary management for stroke in pregnancy.

## Abstract

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.
