Warfarin-induced fetal intracranial subdural hematoma.
Antenatal intracranial hemorrhage is a rare cause of intrauterine fetal death, with an incidence of 4.6-5.1% in autopsy studies of stillborn fetuses. Warfarin-associated fetal bleeding is also a rare problem, with an incidence of 4.3% in the literature. We present a case of warfarin-induced subdural hematoma occurring in the second trimester.
