Abstract
A 33-year-old female with intracerebral haemorrhage during pregnancy, associated with subarachnoid and intraventricular haemorrhages, is pre sented. Intracranial haemorrhages during pregnancy are known to freque ntly result from cerebral aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations. We believe that this is caused by haemangioma calcificans and is notewor thy in considering the indications for surgical treatment for intracra nial calcified lesions suggestive of cavernous haemangioma.
