Abstract
This paper reports a case of a pregnant woman with acute hemorrhagic stroke who underwent an emergency cesarean section post-stroke due to fetal distress. Patient was initially scheduled for elective cesarean section but suffered hemorrhagic stroke a few hours prior to schedule. Identified risk factors of the patient include advanced maternal age, chronic hypertension and use of anticoagulation. Patient safely delivered abdominally under general anesthesia using total intravenous anesthesia, with both the mother and fetus having unremarkable perioperative course. Anesthetic modifications must be individualized and well-coordinated with the surgical and pediatric teams to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the fetus.
