Giant intracranial aneurysm rupture in pregnant woman treated by endovascular embolization: a case report

Abstract

Intracranial aneurysm rupture is a rare cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnancy, with a few endovascular treatment cases reported in the literature. In this study we report a case of a 37-year-old woman in the eighth gestational month presenting tomographic findings and clinical manifestations compatible with subarachnoid hemorrhage (Hunt Hess III) due to rupture of an ophthalmic segment aneurysm in the internal carotid artery.
