title: Spontaneous subdural haemorrhage due to meningioma in the post-partum setting.
abstract: An acute presentation of a meningioma with spontaneous haemorrhage is rare, with mechanisms of haemorrhage remaining unclear. Here, we present a case of a meningioma causing spontaneous intra-tumoural and subdural haemorrhage in the post-partum setting, to our knowledge not previously described, with review of pertinent literature.
