A Case of Fetal Intracranial Bleeding Complicated by Hydrocephalus in a Woman with Frequent Epileptic Seizures
> At week 32 of a pregnancy complicated by maternal seizures, fetal ultrasonography showed hydrocephalus and an intracranial hyperechoic mass identified by magnetic resonance imaging as subacute right thalamic hemorrhage, with aqueductal obstruction. Fetal intracranial bleeding may be a cause factor of perinatal death complicating maternal epilepsy.
