Anaesthesia for Simultaneous Caesarean Section and Clipping of Intracerebral Aneurysm

“…There are few reported cases of the combined procedure of Caesarean section followed by clipping of intracerebral aneurysm [8,9].

We present a case of acute subarachnoid bleeding in a pregnant patient in whom emergency Caesarean section was performed followed by craniotomy and clip obliteration of the aneurysm.…”
