Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) during pregnancy is rare but serious obstetric complication. SAH occurs more often in primiparae and in the third trimester of pregnancy. The hemodynamic and endocrine changes play an important role in the growth and rupture of aneurysms. ⋯ When the aneurysm is successfully clipped, the pregnancy can be allowed to progress to term. In these cases the vaginal delivery is preferred by most clinicians. Caesarean section would be indicated in several circumstances: when the clinical state of mother is severe (coma, brain stem damage), if the aneurysm is diagnosed at term of labour, if the interval between the neurosurgical treatment of aneurysm and labour is less than 8 days.
