GUERRERO-DOMINGUEZ, Rosana et al. Anaesthetic management for craniotomy in a pregnant patient with rupture of a cerebral arterio-venous malformation: Case report. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2015, vol.43, suppl.1, pp.57-60. ISSN 0120-3347.

Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is the third leading non-obstetric indirect cause of maternal death. We describe the anaesthetic management of a 32-year-old woman at 22 weeks gestation with intracranial haemorrhage due to a ruptured arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Managing these patients requires a complex approach with a highly individualised plan involving neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, anaesthetists, obstetricians and neonatologists to assess the risk and benefit of all the different therapeutic alternatives. Given the high risk of further bleeding during pregnancy and the location of the AVM, the best therapeutic option in this case was considered to be a craniotomy and complete removal of the lesion. © 2014 Sociedad Colombiana de Anestesiología y Reanimación.
