Abstract
At week 32 of a pregnancy complicated by maternal seizures, fetal ultr asonography showed hydrocephalus and an intracranial hyperechoic mass identified by magnetic resonance imaging as subacute right thalamic he morrhage, with aqueductal obstruction. Fetal intracranial bleeding may be a cause factor of perinatal death complicating maternal epilepsy.
