Abstract
Pregnancy represents a distinctive physiological state, where any cerebrovascular event can lead to various clinical consequences. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), abnormal connections between blood vessels, are primarily congenital and can vary in size and location. These malformations may remain asymptomatic for extended periods. However, rupture often occurs as a result of hemodynamic changes and can manifest as a stroke during pregnancy. Neurocritical complications associated with pregnancy have the potential to rapidly worsen without warning, underscoring the importance of vigilant monitoring and timely intervention for these patients. We present the case of a 26‐year‐old gravida 4 para 2 who developed cerebrovascular stroke at 27 weeks gestation consequent to a ruptured AVM and intracranial bleed but was managed conservatively till 35 weeks, after which she underwent an uneventful elective cesarean section, emphasizing both the uniqueness of the presentation and the individualized care provided.
