The
incidence of
middle cerebral artery aneurysm rupture in
pregnancy is rare.
Rupture of an
intracranial aneurysm is the most common cause of
subarachnoid hemorrhage in
pregnancy and during
puerperium.
Intracranial aneurysm rupture during
pregnancy is disastrous for the
mother as well as the
fetus. We
report a case of a dissecting left
middle cerebral artery aneurysm in a 25-year-old
woman, G2P1L1, at 18 weeks of
gestation,
who presented with a 1-day
history of giddiness, slurring of
speech, and facial deviation to the left.
