ABSTRACT

La hemorragia intracraneal constituye una patología poco frecuente del embarazo y asociada a pobres resultados materno-fetales. Dentro de sus causas se encuentra, la preeclampsia severa, la cual aumenta la mortalidad en estas pacientes. Se presenta el caso de una gestante que acude al servicio de urgencias con síntomas neurológicos e hipertensión arterial, diagnosticándose preeclampsia severa, con realización de cesárea de urgencia. La tomografía de cráneo mostró hemorragia temporal izquierda, requiriendo manejo en cuidados intensivos con posterior estabilización y alta médica. La hemorragia intracraneal requiere un alto índice de sospecha, monitoreo intensivo y manejo multidisciplinario.


Intracranial hemorrhage is a rare complication during pregnancy, it is associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes. Cerebral haemorrhage caused by pre-eclampsia increases mortality in these patients. We present the case of a pregnant woman who consulted to the service of urgencies with neurological symptoms and hypertension. Severe preeclampsia was diagnosed. She underwent successful emergent cesarean section. The brain scan showed a left temporal hemorrhage. She required intensive care management with subsequent stabilization and discharged from the hospital. Intracranial hemorrhage requires a high index of suspicion, intensive monitoring, and a multidisciplinary approach.
