Haemangioma calcificans presenting as intracranial haemorrhages during pregnancy.
A 33-year-old female with intracerebral haemorrhage during pregnancy, associated with subarachnoid and intraventricular haemorrhages, is presented. Intracranial haemorrhages during pregnancy are known to frequently result from cerebral aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations. We believe that this is caused by haemangioma calcificans and is noteworthy in considering the indications for surgical treatment for intracranial calcified lesions suggestive of cavernous haemangioma.
