  • Title: [The management of subarachnoid hemorrhage in pregnancy].
    Author: Zukiel R, Jankowski R, Tokarz F.
    Journal: Ginekol Pol; 1992 Apr; 63(4):153-8. PubMed ID: 1303920.
    Abstract:
    Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) from an intracranial aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation is a grave complication of pregnancy. Authors critically analyzed 12 cases of verified SAH during pregnancy from an 11 identified and 1 unidentified cerebral vascular malformation. Aneurysms were responsible for SAH in 7, and arteriovenous malformations in 4 patients. Subarachnoid haemorrhage occurred during I trimester in 2, II trimester in 3, III trimester in 6 patients and after cesarean delivery in 1 case. We conclude that the decision to operate after SAH during pregnancy should be based upon neurosurgical principles, whereas the cesarean delivery should be done in every pregnant patient with SAH.
