Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 9

Abstract

Intracerebral hemorrhage is an infrequent but severe complication in pregnant women with hypertension. We describe a typical case of a patient with eclampsia who developed spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in the postpartum period. High degree of suspicion, MRI imaging, prompt intervention and multidisciplinary management helped in full recovery of the patient.
