[Anesthetic management of parturients with intracranial hemorrhage accompanied by seizure].
Two preeclamptic parturients, who presented with generalized seizure, underwent emergency cesarean section without confirmed diagnosis. They developed focal neurological signs postoperatively, and were subsequently diagnosed as subarachnoid hemorrhage due to rupture of an intracranial aneurysm and possibly of arteriovenous malformation. Diagnosis should be made at the earliest possible time for the optimal anesthetic as well as postoperative management of the mother.
